The Pitten is a river in Lower Austria. Its basin area is 413 km2 (159 sq mi).[1]

The source of the Pitten is the confluence of its two headstreams Feistritz and Großer Pestingbach, near Hinterleiten, Feistritz am Wechsel.[2] At Haderswörth in the parish of Lanzenkirchen, the Pitten and the Schwarza unite to form the Leitha, a tributary of the Danube.[3]
