Burgruine Brunneck stands in Titting (Landkreis Eichstätt), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burgruine Brunneck stands on a rocky spur above the Anlauter valley, within the Altmühltal nature park, near the village of Altdorf in the municipality of Titting. Built in the late 14th century by the lords of Heideck, it later passed to the prince-bishops of Eichstätt before gradually falling into decay after the late 17th century. Two sections of its enclosure walls survive, including a tall shield wall, and have been restored and opened to visitors.
