The Oetternbach (also "Ötternbach"), in the upper reaches of Röhrentruperbach , is a 16.7 km long orographically left tributary of the Bega in the northeast of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Oetternbach got its name from the Otter . This lived until 1572, when the last otter was caught in Heiden , on the Oetternbach. The otter was often hunted because of its thick fur and the otter fat, which was valued in folk medicine at the time.

The middle course between the confluence of the Sylbecke and the Fellenbach has poorer water quality and is classified as class II-III (critically polluted).
In July 2006 fish died in the Oetternbach. This was caused by pollution of the stream with large amounts of manure.
