Schönteichen (Upper Sorbian: Šěnčicy) is a former municipality in the district of Bautzen, in Saxony, Germany.

Schönteichen was created in 1994 by the merger of nine formerly independent municipalities.

[1] Schönteichen is a small community between the Upper Lusatian heath and the pond area of the Westlausitzer hills and mountains.

With its nine districts - Biehla, Brauna, Cunnersdorf, Hausdorf, Liebenau, Petershain, Rohrbach, Schönbach and Schwosdorf - it covers an area of almost 45 km², surrounded by larger forest areas and nestled in a charming pond landscape.

The municipality has its name from the countless ponds in the towns, which decisively shape the landscape.
