Oberstdorf (Low Alemannic: Oberschdorf) is a municipality and skiing and hiking town in Germany, located in the Allgäu region of the Bavarian Alps.

At the center of Oberstdorf is a church whose tall spire serves as a landmark for navigating around town.

King Maximilian, the later emperor, granted Oberstdorf in 1495 the right to hold a market and the High Court.

ABC's Wide World of Sports famously featured the Oberstdorf ski flying hill when Vinko Bogataj fell during his jump in 1970, thus becoming known as "The Agony of Defeat".

One of the two ISU adult figure skating competitions (for skaters aged 28 and older) is held in Oberstdorf each May.
