Schloss Babstadt stands in Bad Rappenau, in the Landkreis Heilbronn, in Baden-Württemberg. Built between 1898 and 1911 for Ernst von Gemmingen-Hornberg to designs by the Stuttgart architect Carl Weigle, it replaced an earlier building whose Baroque portal was retained.

The building remains a private residence, set within a landscaped park enclosed by a battlemented wall.
