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

Burg Hengstfeld was a motte castle, now vanished, that once stood north of the church in the village of Hengstfeld, part of the municipality of Wallhausen. It is not a castle one can visit in the usual sense: the site simply marks the former location of an earth and timber fortification destroyed long ago. Its interest lies mainly in its history, tied to the family that once bore its name and to the feudal past of the area.
