+## NAME
+podman\-rename - Rename an existing container
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman rename** *container* *newname*
+
+**podman container rename** *container* *newname*
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+Rename changes the name of an existing container.
+The old name will be freed, and will be available for use.
+This command can be run on containers in any state.
+However, running containers may not fully receive the effects until they are restarted - for example, a running container may still use the old name in its logs.
+At present, only containers are supported; pods and volumes cannot be renamed.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+```
+# Rename a container by name
+$ podman rename oldContainer aNewName
+```
+
+```
+# Rename a container by ID
+$ podman rename 717716c00a6b testcontainer
+```
+
+```
+# Use the container rename alias
+$ podman container rename 6e7514b47180 databaseCtr
+```
+
+## SEE ALSO
+podman(1), podman-create(1), podman-run(1)
