The Borbecke Quelle is a well in Essen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).

The site is the well area of the Borbecke stream. The water leaves the ground from at least three openings. The well basins were built in 1928. The original name is Borathbeki and may mean Bruktererbach ("Bructeri Stream"), which refers to the Germanic tribe of the Bructeri. However, it is not known, whether the Bructeri used this site as sanctuary.

Today, the well lies within the palace garden of Borbeck castle. The stream supplies the ditch of the castle.
