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

Burg Dachsberg was a former hilltop fortification, now vanished, standing on a knoll about 605 metres above sea level southeast of Obermarchtal. Built before 1200 on an artificial mound seven metres high, it formed an oval enclosure roughly twenty metres long. Only faint traces of ramparts and ditches remain today, set in quiet farmland.
