Burg Andeck stands in Talheim (Landkreis Tübingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Andeck survives only as ruins perched on a rocky spur on the southeastern side of the Farrenberg, above Talheim in Baden-Württemberg. The stronghold belonged to the lords of Andeck, first recorded here at the end of the 13th century. Visitors can still make out a shield wall and the remains of a round tower, thought to be the keep, uncovered during excavations in the 20th century. The site works best as a stop along a walk through the Farrenberg countryside.
