The burgstall or site of Bieberbach Castle is a ruined mediaeval spur castle at a elevation of 530 m above  sea level (NN) on a rock formation in the southern part of the parish of Bieberbach, in the market municipality of Egloffstein in the county of Forchheim in the German state of Bavaria.

The castle was built around 1225 by the lords of Dachstetten. Later occupants were the lords of Egloffstein and the lords of Wichsenstein, who were recorded as ministeriales of the Bishopric of Bamberg. The castle was damaged in 1525 during the Peasants' War and finally destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. In the early 19th century the remains were carried away apart from a vaulted roof and a cellar.
