The Lüningsburg was an early medieval hill fort near Neustadt am Rübenberge in Lower Saxony. The 1.4 hectare ring wall complex used to serve as a refuge for the population. It was created at the edge of the valley above the Leine lowland. After several archaeological investigations, the area is now used as farmland and a cemetery.

The Lüningsburg is located about 2 km south-east of the city center of Neustadt am Rübenberge. In the Middle Ages it was called "Loghingeborch". The name probably derives from its location in the Loingau (Leinegau) on the border to the southern Marstemgau. It was built on an approximately 5 m high terrace ledge on the western edge of the Leine valley floodplain. Today, half of the remains of the wall are located in the Lüningsburg municipal cemetery and half in an adjacent field. The ramparts were already shown on a map of the Kurhannover state survey from 1782. In front of the cemetery, it can be clearly seen on aerial photographs from the 1970s and even on current satellite images as a dark discoloration of the ground.
