Monheim am Rhein (Limburgish: Monnem) is a town on the right (eastern) bank of the river Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Monheim belongs to the district of Mettmann – with the southern suburbs of Düsseldorf to the north, and the Bergisches Land to the south.

Monheim gained city status in 1960, ten years after it finally incorporated the neighbouring villages Baumberg and Hitdorf.

After a successful complaint in the federal state's constitutional court in Münster, the city became independent again on 1 July 1976, but lost Hitdorf to Leverkusen.

Black Emperor would use the name of the town As a title for the first section of the song sleep off their second studio album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.
