The Ullenburg is a vanished hilltop castle on the 285.3 m above sea level Schlossberg south of the Tiergarten district of the city of Oberkirch in the Ortenaukreis in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was mentioned in 1070, expanded in the 15th century, destroyed in 1689, and demolished in 1785. The castle was owned by the Bishops of Strasbourg and the von Botzheim family. After the Thirty Years' War, Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen, the author of Simplicissimus, lived in the castle as its administrator.
Of the former castle complex, remains of the curtain wall are still preserved.
