The '''Wupper''' ({{IPA|de|ˈvʊpɐ|-|De-Wupper.ogg}}) is a right [[tributary]] of the [[Rhine]] in the state of [[North Rhine-Westphalia]], [[Germany]]. Rising near [[Marienheide]] in western [[Sauerland]] it runs through the mountainous region of the [[Bergisches Land]] in Berg County and enters the Rhine at [[Leverkusen]], south of [[Düsseldorf]]. Its upper course is called the Wipper. Both names are related to "weave", and refer to the twisting course.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wippen#German | title=Wippen | date=April 7, 2022 }}</ref>
