This paper is to study the convergence and superconvergence of rectangular finite elements under anisotropic meshes. By using of the orthogonal expansion method, an anisotropic Lagrange interpolation is presented. The family of Lagrange rectangular elements with all the possible shape function spaces are considered, which cover the Intermediate families, Tensor-product families and Serendipity families. It is shown that the anisotropic interpolation error estimates hold for any order Sobolev norm. We extend the convergence and superconvergence result of rectangular finite elements to arbitrary rectangular meshes in a unified way.
