Schrozberg is a town in the district of Schwäbisch Hall, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located 21 km (13 mi) west of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and 31 km (19 mi) northeast of Schwäbisch Hall.

Schrozburg Castle of the Lords of Schrozberg was built in the 12th century and destroyed in 1441 by the city of Rothenburg. Schrozberg was then possessed by the lords of Schrozberg, later jointly by the noble families Seldeneck, Adelsheim, the city of Rothenburg, the House of Hohenlohe und the barons of Berlichingen. A new castle outside the town was built in the early 16th century.

By 1455, Albrecht of Hohenlohe had acquired the castle and lordship of Bartenstein near Schrozberg. The castle is still today the residence of the Prince of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein.
