Burgruine Heinrichsbürg stands in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz (Landkreis Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 11th century. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgruine Heinrichsbürg crowns the Schlossberg, a spur of the Dillberg above the Pölling district of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. Built in the 12th century, it changed hands among several noble families before being enlarged into a hunting lodge in the 15th century, then destroyed in 1504 during the Landshut War of Succession. What remains today are traces of a circular rampart and ditch system atop a steep, seven-metre conical mound.
