Schloss Zörbig stands in Zörbig (Landkreis Anhalt-Bitterfeld), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Zörbig stands on a fortified hilltop south of the old town, on a site that held a Slavic rampart and then a German stronghold first recorded in 961. Its 45 metre stone keep dates from the 12th century and still dominates the skyline, topped by a brick upper section added in the 16th century. The residential wing seen today was built between 1694 and 1703, when the medieval castle was converted into a residence for the Saxe-Merseburg-Zörbig line. A local history museum now occupies the former castle buildings.
