Burgstall Fußstain stands in Habach (Landkreis Weilheim-Schongau), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Fußstain marks the site of a vanished early medieval hilltop fortification on a spur of the Stöcklesberg near Hinterfeld, part of the municipality of Habach. Only a circular ditch remains visible today, the last trace of a complex that once included a tower-like structure and a dwelling. The stronghold is thought to have been built between 900 and 955 as a refuge during the Hungarian invasions. This is an archaeological location rather than a building to tour.
