The Butterberg is a hill, about 280 m above sea level (NN) high, in the county of Harz in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.

The Butterberg lies about halfway between Ilsenburg to the west-northwest and Drübeck to the east-southeast.

To the northeast the countryside transitions into the Wahrberg (274.9 m above NN), to the west it descends to the valley of the Ilse and, to the east, into that of the Nonnenbach.

To the south, the state road, the Landesstraße 85 runs from east to west and, to the north on the other side of the Danstedt to Vienenburg railway, is the Bundesstraße 6 federal highway.

The Butterberg is somewhat higher than 280 m. Northeast of its summit is a track with a spot height of 279.1 m above NN[1].
