Battenberg (officially Battenberg (Pfalz)) is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bad Dürkheim district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The municipality lies in the Rhine-Neckar urban agglomeration on the seam between the Haardt and the Upper Rhine Plain.

Standing together 300 m above sea level, high above the river Eckbach's banks are the small village and the like-named castle, Burg Battenberg, to the east.

[3] The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per fess azure an eagle displayed wings elevated argent armed and langued gules, and argent a greyhound courant sinister sable.

Battenberg's arms developed out of the link between the Counts of Leiningen and Murbach Abbey in Alsace.
