Burgstall im Viehtrieb (Straßberg) stands in Bobingen (Landkreis Augsburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall im Viehtrieb is an earthwork fortification north of Straßberg, a district of Bobingen, set on a spur above the Wertach valley. What remains today are ditches, ramparts and a narrow fortified core, built into a bundle of disused hollow ways that may once have served the extraction of bog iron ore. No structures stand here: visiting means walking the shaped terrain and tracing the successive defensive lines, from the inner ditch to the outer banks. Immediately to the south lies a related earthwork, the Abschnittsbefestigung Straßberg, part of the same ancient fortified landscape.
