The Ötztaler Ache is a river in the district of Imst, Tyrol, Austria, a right tributary of the Inn.

The Ötztaler Ache flows through the Ötztal valley, a southern branch the Inntal. Including its source rivers  [ceb; de; nl; sv] and  [ceb; de; sv], it is 66.5 kilometres (41.3 mi) long. The Rofenache is the runoff of the  [ceb; de; nl; sv], a glacier at the foot of the Weißkugel, Ötztal Alps. At  [cs; de], near Sölden, it takes up the  [ceb; de; sv] and its name changes to Venter Ache. At the confluence with the  [ceb; de; nl; sv] in  [ceb; de; sv], Sölden, the Ötztaler Ache proper is formed. It flows through Sölden, Längenfeld, Umhausen and Oetz before joining the Inn 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of Imst. The river is one of its bigger tributaries.
