Burgruine Teutleben stands in Eßleben-Teutleben (Landkreis Sömmerda), in Thuringia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgruine Teutleben is the remnant of a moated castle built on a motte southwest of the village church of Teutleben, near where the Rheinbach flows into the Rohrbach. What remains is a flattened rectangular mound roughly 55 by 47 metres and still about three metres high, surrounded by a wide ditch and a low outer bank. On top of the mound stand the ruins of a round tower built of red sandstone, thought to have served as a residential tower. The site once belonged to the lords of Teutleben, a ministerial family first documented in 1140.
