Mittleres Schloss Kleinbottwar stands in Steinheim an der Murr (Landkreis Ludwigsburg), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Mittleres Schloss Kleinbottwar refers to a minor noble estate built in the 16th century on the hillside above the village of Kleinbottwar, now part of Steinheim an der Murr. Erected between 1541 and 1543 by Hans Dietrich von Plieningen, it burned down in 1639 and was rebuilt after 1663 under new owners. Since 1774 the property has largely been in private hands and has been mostly torn down and rebuilt over the centuries, leaving little of the original structure visible today.
