Schwarzach is a former village in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland in the municipality of Schlatt TG on the left bank of the Rhine. It was abandoned around 1250 after the Paradies monastery moved to this location and has since been forgotten. Before the monastery was founded there was a church dedicated to St. Peter and the village is mentioned in 876 as Swarza . Today no traces of Schwarzach are visible anymore.

The stream flowing into the Rhine here with its main source in Kundelfingerhof was called Schwarzach for a long time , but is now officially called Mülibach .
