Burg Steinegg (Neuhausen) stands in Neuhausen (Enzkreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Steinegg stands at Neuhausen on the site of an older medieval stronghold, of which only foundations survive on a nearby terraced hilltop. The present building was erected in the 15th century by the von Gemmingen family, later remodelled in Renaissance style, rebuilt after a fire, and then deliberately unroofed in the 19th century, leaving it a ruin for decades.
