Burg Gruibingen stands in Gruibingen (Landkreis Göppingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Gruibingen, also known as Burg Dürrenberg, is a former spur castle of which only scant remains survive, perched on the Dürrenberg ridge on the boundary between the villages of Gruibingen and Mühlhausen im Täle. Today visitors find only faint traces of ditches, earthworks and rubble stone walls, the last signs of a stronghold once laid out across several artificial terraces divided by transverse trenches. This is a site for those drawn to castle archaeology rather than intact buildings.
