Burg Ohrsberg stands in Eberbach (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Ohrsberg refers to the sparse remains of an old hilltop stronghold, still poorly researched, on the summit of the Ohrsberg above Eberbach. All that survives is a double ditch cut into the sandstone and an earthen rampart between them; no standing masonry remains visible today. The inner plateau, roughly fifteen by thirty-five metres, now holds the base of a nineteenth-century pavilion and a 1970s observation tower. Its dating and even the true character of the site are still disputed among researchers.
