Burg Bodendorf is a former moated castle (Wasserburg) in the Bad Bodendorf district of Sinzig.

The present four-winged building, arranged around a cobbled courtyard shaded by a large lime tree, is the result of several rebuildings after repeated destruction. The original moat was filled in long ago.
