Remseck am Neckar is a Neckar River/Rhine River cruise port and town in Germany's Baden-Wurttemberg state (Ludwigsburg district) with population around 25,000. The town is approx 7 km (5 mi) southeast of Ludwigsburg (district's capital city with population around 95,000) and approx 12 km (7 mi) northeast of Stuttgart (state's capital city with population around 2,8 million).

As cruise port, Remseck is included in the schedule of CroisiEurope and is usually visited in the autumn (September-October).

Remseck is at the confluence of two rivers (Neckar and Rems) and was officially established (as Aldingen am Neckar) in 1975, renamed Remseck am Neckar two years later (in 1977) and received city rights in 2004. Remseck was formed by merging five villages (Aldingen, Hochberg, Hochdorf, Neckargroningen, Neckarrem) dating back to the 12th century. The town's six boroughs include these former villages plus Pattonville (a 1955-founded residential area that was inhabited predominantly by Americans). The most populous is Aldingen (~8,000).

A railway (Stadtbahn's railroad U14) links Remseck with Stuttgart. Several bus lines connect with the neighboring cities of Ludwigsburg, Kornwestheim, Marbach, Waiblingen, Fellbach, and Stuttgart.

Popular tourist attractions include Aldingen's Radiomuseum (displaying radios from 1924 to today), Nekarrems' Heimatstube (outdoor museum themed on the region's peasant life), Nekarrems' Altes Schulhaus (Remseck-themed artifacts), Neckargroningen's Dorfschmiede (architecture museum), Aldingen Castle (16th century, with the 14th-century church Margaretenkirche), Hochberg Castle (16th century/privately owned, with a 19th-century church), Hochdorf Castle (16th century/now houses the town's library), Neckargroningen's Old Town and Neckarrems' Old Town (timber-framed houses).

Annually held festivals include Pentecost and Wilhelmsfestplatz (in Hochdorf), Oktoberfest (Hochberg), Christmas Market (180+ stands, open-air concerts).
