Burg Ellrichshausen stands in Satteldorf (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Ellrichshausen no longer exists: it was a fortress, now vanished, located near the Protestant church of Ellrichshausen, a district of the municipality of Satteldorf. It served as the original seat of the lords von Ellrichshausen, a family first documented in 1271, who were vassals first of Lohr, then of Hohenlohe and Ansbach until the mid-14th century. No built structure remains on the site today, which is classified as a Burgstall, meaning the location of a former, now-vanished castle.
