Mudau is a municipality in the Neckar-Odenwald district, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. As of 2013[update] it has 4,833 inhabitants.
Mudau lies in the southeastern Odenwald mountains between the Neckar and Main rivers, 75 km southeast of Frankfurt am Main and 40 km northeast of Heidelberg. The area is heavily forested, resting on coloured sandstone plateaus at 285 to 576 m elevation, sloping downward to the Bauland region. Many streams originate in the area around Mudau, owing to its location on the Neckar-Main watershed; some have cut canyons as much as 200 m deep into the sandstone. Streams considered significant are the Gabelbach, Mudbach, and Steinbächlein which flow into the Main, and the Reisenbach, Trienzbach, and Elz which flow into the Neckar.
Mudau is an officially recognized resort in the Naturpark-Neckartal-Odenwald.
The wavy band in the coat of arms represents the Mudbach, while the wheels refer to the arms of Mainz.
