This article shows the special symbols, called coats of arms, for different areas in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Rhineland-Palatinate is one of Germany's 16 states.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, there are two main types of local areas: "districts" (called Landkreise in German) and "urban districts" (called kreisfreie Städte).
