Schloss Pilsach stands in Pilsach (Landkreis Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Pilsach is a moated castle standing on a small island in a pond fed by the stream that gives the village its name. It grew from a medieval fortified house into a solid, hip-roofed building over the centuries. The place is chiefly known for the story that Kaspar Hauser may have been held in a hidden chamber found during renovations in 1924, a claim never backed by historical evidence.
