Ruine Dettingen stands in Horb am Neckar (Landkreis Freudenstadt), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ruine Dettingen marks the remains of a small medieval stronghold set above the Hornshalde, southeast of Oberdettingen, a district of Horb am Neckar. The site is thought to date from the 12th century, built by the lords of Dettingen, a family sometimes known by the byname Lamp. A certain Rudolfus de Tetingen is recorded as early as 1139. What survives today are sections of wall and old ditches, the only visible traces of the former castle.
