The Maas-Wupper-Express (RE 13) is a Regional-Express service in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), running from the Dutch border town of Venlo to Hamm in Westphalia.

Together with the Wupper-Express (RE 4) and Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn line S 8, the Maas-Wupper-Express provides an east-west link between the lower Rhine of Germany and the eastern Ruhr.

It runs on the tracks of the Venlo–Viersen, Viersen-Mönchengladbach, Mönchengladbach–Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf–Wuppertal, Wuppertal–Hagen and Hagen–Hamm lines.

Trains running between Venlo and Hamm have to reverse in Mönchengladbach Hauptbahnhof, so the Maas-Wupper-Express is scheduled to spend nine minutes there on the way to Venlo and ten minutes towards Hamm.

Operator of the line is Eurobahn, a subsidiary of Keolis. Operations on this line and the Rhein-Emscher-Express are carried out using 4 four-carriage and 14 five-carriage Stadler FLIRT electrical multiple units with a top speed of 160 km/h rented from Angel Trains. Services run every hour.
