Wabe-Schunter-Beberbach is a Stadtbezirk (city district) in the north-eastern and eastern part of Braunschweig, Germany. The district is named after the river Schunter and its tributaries Wabe and Beberbach.

The Stadtbezirk comprises the quarters Bevenrode, Bienrode, Gliesmarode, Riddagshausen, Querum, and Waggum.

The district was formed in 2011 out of the former districts of Wabe-Schunter and Bienrode-Waggum-Bevenrode. Both districts consisted of villages that were incorporated into Braunschweig during the 20th century, in 1934 (Gliesmarode, Querum, and Riddagshausen) and in 1974 (Bevenrode, Bienrode, and Waggum).
