Schloss Hirschbrunn is a former hunting lodge a few kilometres from Auhausen, in the Landkreis Donau-Ries, Bavaria. A moated stronghold was first built here in the mid-14th century by the counts of Oettingen near the castle pond, and it was replaced between 1600 and 1607 by the present building. Ownership passed through several branches of the Oettingen family before settling with the Oettingen-Spielberg line at the end of the 17th century. The estate still belongs to that family today and is not open to visitors.
