The Burgstall Altheim is a lost hilltop castle on the ridge "Burgstall" west of the town of Altheim in the Biberach district in Baden-Württemberg .

The castle was mentioned in the 13th century and destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 . The Counts of Wartstein, the Lords of Tanne and the Lords of Essendorf are named as owners of the castle.

Nothing has been preserved of the castle complex, which can no longer be precisely located on a round, artificial hill facing the village.
