Burg Gollenfels stands in Dörrebach (Landkreis Bad Kreuznach), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Gollenfels stands on a rocky spur above the Guldenbach valley, on the edge of the Soonwald forest, facing the Stromburg. Tradition holds that a stronghold already existed here in the 10th or 11th century, built on the remains of a Roman post, though no reliable source confirms this. Destroyed in 1614 by Spanish troops during the War of the Jülich Succession, it was rebuilt in 1619 and later lost its military role. The structure, in ruins and structurally unstable since 2002, is privately owned.
