Burg Allmendingen stands in Allmendingen (Alb-Donau-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Allmendingen refers to the vanished remains of a medieval hilltop castle that once stood on a wooded rise of the Heilenberg, near Allmendingen in Baden-Württemberg. No contemporary document mentions the stronghold directly, and its history has only been pieced together from later sources and nineteenth century excavations. The expansion of a quarry linked to a cement works destroyed what remained of its walls in the 1880s, so no visible remains survive on site today. The place is of interest mainly for local history and archaeology rather than as a preserved monument to visit.
