In basketball statistics, rebound rate or rebound percentage is a statistic to gauge how effective a player is at gaining possession of the basketball after a missed field goal or free throw. Rebound rate is an estimate of the percentage of missed shots a player rebounded while he was on the floor. Using raw rebound totals to evaluate rebounding fails to take into account external factors unrelated to a player's ability, such as the number of shots taken in games and the percentage of those shots that are made. Both factors affect the number of missed shots that are available to be rebounded. Rebound rate takes these factors into account.

Leaders In the National Basketball Association (NBA), the statistic is available for seasons since the 1970–71 season. The highest career rebound rate by a player is 24.98, by Andre Drummond. The highest rebound rate for one season is 29.73, also by Dennis Rodman, which he achieved during the season. He also owned seven of the top ten rebound percentage seasons (four of the top five) in NBA history, all time. Dennis Rodman led the league in Rebound rate a record eight times. Marcus Camby, Andre Drummond, and Moses Malone each led the league four times. Reggie Evans, Danny Fortson, DeAndre Jordan, Larry Smith, Clifford Ray, Roy Tarpley, and Bill Walton each led the league two times.
