Schloss Ilvesheim stands in Ilvesheim (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Ilvesheim stands at the heart of the village of Ilvesheim, built around 1700 on the site of a medieval stronghold destroyed during the War of the Palatine Succession. Its baroque form, a central block flanked by four corner towers with onion domes, reflects the ambitions of its builder, first minister to the Palatine elector Johann Wilhelm. Now owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg, the building houses a school for visually impaired and multiply disabled students and is not open to the public as a sightseeing monument.

Visitors can still view the baroque facade and its onion-domed towers from the outside.
The original palace park has largely vanished, replaced by later school buildings.
The site can be freely approached from the public streets of Ilvesheim village.
