Burg Schöneberg (Betzigau) stands in Betzigau (Landkreis Oberallgäu), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 9th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Schöneberg is a ruined hilltop castle above the hamlet of Schönberg, in the municipality of Betzigau in Bavaria. Once home to the abbots of Kempten abbey and later to an unnamed line of knights, it fell gradually into decay from the 17th century onward. Today only remnants of a square keep survive, walls roughly four metres high dated to around 1300. The site underwent conservation work in 2007 as part of a regional project dedicated to the castles of the Allgäu.
