The Höttinger Bach is a river of Tyrol, Austria. It is a 4 km (2.5 mi) long left tributary of the Inn in Innsbruck and lies in full on the Innsbruck city area.

The Höttinger Bach originates on 1,100 m (AA) below the Umbrückler Alm and runs straight in southern direction to the city district Mariahilf where it merges with theInn. In the course of time it created a small ravine called Höttinger Graben. The overground part is visible until the street Kirschentalgasse.

Near its origin the city erected a drinking water reservoir, which mainly supplies the Hungerburg region additionally. Its excellent A grade quality is kept by the river in the whole course.

The small river may look like a harmless water but can quickly get flooded due to high water or strong rain. Hötting had to suffer from this already several times.
