Rødbyhavn (Danish pronunciation: [ʁœðpyˈhɑwˀn]) is a small town and harbour on the south coast of Lolland, Denmark, with a population of 1,476 (1 January 2025). Its name means "Rødby Harbour" and it is located approximately five kilometres (3.1 mi) southwest of the town of Rødby. Since 2007 it has been a part of Lolland Municipality.
Rødbyhavn is a harbour on the northern shore of the Fehmarn Belt. A ferry service connects Rødbyhavn with Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn. Thus one can drive or take the train from Copenhagen over the Fehmarn Belt, and on to Lübeck and Hamburg by European route E47, which in Germany is known as autobahn A1 or Vogelfluglinie.
The original Lalandia holiday resort is located just west of Rødbyhavn on the shore of Fehmarn Belt.
