Overath (; ) is a town in the Rheinisch-Bergischer district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

==Geography== thumb|left|Map of Overath's quarters Overath is located about 25 km east of Cologne, in the Bergisches Land. Despite the reclassification as a 'Stadt' (town, though the German understanding leans towards city) years ago due to surpassing the relevant population threshold, the former appellation Gemeinde (parish) seems more appropriate (particularly to the inhabitants) due to the spread-out villages it consists of.
