The invention discloses a revetment retaining wall and relates to landscape engineering. The revetment retaining wall can also be applied to river ecological restoration engineering, hydraulic engineering and the like. The revetment retaining wall provided by the invention has the advantage that sliding of a wall toward the direction of a river is reduced. According to the main points of the technical scheme, the revetment retaining wall comprises a reinforced concrete wall, a reinforced concrete seat plate arranged at the bottom of the wall, and an ecological gabion arranged on the side, toward the river, of the wall. The bottom of the reinforced concrete wall enters soil lower than the water bottom of the river. The top end of the wall extends out of the water surface of the river, and the side, back to the river, of the wall is backfilled with a soil layer. A plurality of water drain pipes penetrating through the wall and the soil layer are arranged in the wall. The ends, stretchinginto the soil layer, of the water drain pipes are provided with water permeable blind pipes. The seat plate and the wall are in an inverted-T shape. The ecological gabion is embedded in the water bottom of the river.
