Eppendorf (German pronunciationⓘ) is a municipality in the district of Mittelsachsen, in Saxony, Germany.

Eppendorf runs along the river of the Große Lößnitz, a tributary of the Flöha.

For most of its early history, it was a farming village and later also the location of a hunting lodge of Elector Augustus of Saxony.

In the late 19th century, some industry developed (manufacturing of toys, shoes, textile products and furniture).

Today, the economy is mostly based on small businesses and traditional craftsmanship, farming and tourism.
