Rxvt is a terminal emulator for the X Window System, originally written by Rob Nation. It is intended to be a slimmed-down replacement for xterm, omitting some of its little-used features, like Tektronix 4014 emulation. Rxvt is an extended version of the older xvt terminal emulator by John Bovey of the University of Kent at Canterbury; Rxvt stands for "our xvt" (pronounced like the letters r-x-v-t).

Newer versions of rxvt have primitive support for pseudo-transparency.

The Rxvt distribution also includes an analog clock program called rclock.
