"Rebell" (German for "rebel") is a song by German rock band Die Ärzte. It's the ninth track and the fourth and final single from their 1998 album 13. The song is about the rebellious attitude of adolescents, which it criticises ironically at times.

The music video is in greyscale and shows the band singing the song, while the lyrics appear on the screen in red. It was filmed in a One-Take.
