Schloss Schmeilsdorf stands in Mainleus (Landkreis Kulmbach), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Schloss Schmeilsdorf stands in the middle of the village of Schmeilsdorf, a hamlet belonging to the municipality of Mainleus, surrounded by water-filled moats and a park with old trees. The present building, a plain three-storey structure, was erected around 1750 by Friedrich Erdmann von Künsberg on the site of an earlier knight's seat first recorded in 1398. A small chapel dating from the early 17th century stands a few steps from the Schloss and has served as a barn since the mid-19th century. After decades of vacancy the property was later restored and converted into a residence.
