Burg Klein-Zimmern stands in Groß-Zimmern (Landkreis Darmstadt-Dieburg), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Klein-Zimmern, now part of the St. Josephshaus complex, was originally a moated stronghold in the Klein-Zimmern district of Groß-Zimmern, in Hesse. Likely established as early as the late 13th century, it passed through the hands of various noble families and underwent repeated alterations before being converted into a manor-like residence and eventually incorporated in 1864 into a youth care institution founded by Bishop Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler. As the grounds now serve this active institutional purpose, visits are generally limited to viewing the exterior and surroundings.
