Burg Anebos stands in Annweiler am Trifels (Landkreis Südliche Weinstraße), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Anebos Castle is a ruined rock castle set on a spur of the Scharfenberg hill, in the Palatinate Forest above Annweiler am Trifels. Together with Trifels Castle and Scharfenberg Castle it forms the so called Trifels group, three fortresses standing on neighbouring rocky summits typical of the Wasgau region. What survives on site is limited to a stretch of wall, a rock cut cistern once mistaken for a cellar, and tool marks left on the bare rock. It is a stop for hikers taking in all three castles rather than a destination with standing buildings.
