The Frutz is a river of Vorarlberg, Austria, a tributary of the Rhine.

The Frutz is 19 km (12 mi) long. Its source is in the Frutz Alpine shieling. It flows in western direction through the valley Laternsertal [ceb; de; sv] in the area of Feldkirch to the Rhine. At Rankweil, the river divides into a side and main arm.[1] The smaller one has an own name called Ehbach. Both arms discharge separately at Koblach into the Rhine.
