A positive electrode for a rechargeable lithium battery includes a positive active material including small particle diameter monolith particles having a particle diameter of about 1 μm to about 8 μm and including a first nickel-based lithium metal oxide, and large particle diameter secondary particles having a particle diameter of about 10 μm to about 20 μm and including a second nickel-based lithium metal oxide. An X-ray diffraction peak intensity ratio (I(003)/I(104)) of the positive electrode is greater than or equal to about 3. A rechargeable lithium battery includes the positive electrode.
