Burg Wartenberg (Geisingen) stands in Geisingen (Landkreis Tuttlingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burg Wartenberg is a ruined hilltop castle on the wooded summit of the Wartenberg, an extinct volcano of the Hegau rising to 810 metres, two kilometres west of Geisingen. Built in the 12th century by the lords of Geisingen, who later took the name von Wartenberg, it now survives only as the remains of a stone residential tower and part of its enclosing wall. The site was superseded as early as the 13th century by a second castle nearby and fell gradually into ruin.
