Siegerrebe (, ) is a white wine grape that is grown primarily in Germany with some plantings in England, Vancouver Island, Washington state, British Columbia's North Okanagan and Fraser Valley and Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley along with a small planting in Tasmania, Australia at Every Man and His Dog Vineyard, and another in the Finger Lakes AVA in New York State. Siegerrebe was created by German viticulturalist Dr. Georg Scheu (1879–1949) in 1929 at a grape-breeding institute in Alzey in Rheinhessen, by crossing Madeleine Angevine and Gewürztraminer.

Siegerrebe received varietal protection and was released for general cultivation in Germany in 1958.
