The Vogelsbergkreis is a Kreis (district) in the middle of Hesse, Germany.

Neighbouring districts are Schwalm-Eder, Hersfeld-Rotenburg, Fulda, Main-Kinzig, Wetteraukreis, Gießen and Marburg-Biedenkopf.

The main feature of the district is the Vogelsberg, an extinct volcano, last active 7 million years ago.

The lilies in the upper part show the flowers of the martagon lily (German Türkenbund, Lilium martagon), a rare plant which grows in some protected areas of the district.

The flowers were taken from the coat of arms of the Lauterbach district.
