Burg Beetzendorf is the ruin of a lowland castle, built on marshy ground in the municipality of Beetzendorf in Saxony-Anhalt.

What remains today is the north gate, rebuilt in the 19th century, and a roughly 20-metre red brick keep, set within a wooded park that still shows traces of a baroque garden.
