The Rhein-IJssel-Express is a Regional-Express service in German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Dutch province of Gelderland, that has run since December 2016 from Düsseldorf to Emmerich am Rhein and was extended to Arnhem in April 2017. It is planned to extend it to Bocholt. The line, which is designated as RE 19, is operated by Abellio Rail NRW, a subsidiary of Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

The Rhein-IJssel-Express is part of the Niederrhein-Netzes (Lower Rhine Network) of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr, operations of which were awarded to Abellio Rail NRW at the beginning of 2013. In addition to the RE 19, it also includes the RB 35 (Emscher-Niederrhein-Bahn, a new service, replacing a service formerly operated as part of RB 33–the Rhein-Niers-Bahn) and the RB 32 (Der Bocholter). After the electrification of the Bocholt–Wesel railway, the RB 32 service is expected to be integrated in the RE 19 from December 2018 as a portion worked service coupled and uncoupled in Wesel.

There are two other international Regional-Expresses in the region: the Maas-Wupper-Express and the proposed LIMAX (Liège-Maastricht-Aachen-Express).

Until December 2016, the service was branded as Regionalbahn line Der Weseler (RB 35) from Duisburg to Wesel and operated towards Emmerich, Düsseldorf or Cologne during the peak in the peak direction. It was launched in 1998 with the introduction of the NRW-Takt (Clock-face timetable). The line was operated with 425/426 class sets and sometimes with locomotive-hauled Silberling carriages by DB Regio NRW.
