The Eggel is a river in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and a left tributary of the Diemel. Its lower section forms the boundary between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse.
At this boundary of the two German states, it flows between Warburg in the west and Liebenau in the east at about 150 m above sea level into the Diemel, a western tributary of the Weser.
