The Breitenbeek is a roughly 6.3 km (4 mi) long tributary of the Sperrlutter in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. It rises at over 620 m in the vicinity of the Rehbergklinik in Oderberg. It then flows initially southwards through the Engelsburger Teiche, before it joins the Sperrlutter at 360 m. The Breitenbeek is the largest tributary of the Sperrlutter.

The sulphur spring is the best known spring of the Breitenbeek

At the end of the source region are the two Engelsburg ponds
