Pfedelbach is a town in the district of Hohenlohe in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Being regionally most popular for its castle built from 1568 to 1572 and the Fürstenfass (Prince's barrel), Pfedelbach's history dates back to the 11th century. Nowadays most of the surrounding smaller townships have been suburbanized to Pfedelbach, including Oberohrn, Heuberg/Buchhorn/Gleichen (three small villages counting as one), Harsberg, Untersteinbach and Windischenbach to name but a few.

A special aspect about the early culture of Pfedelbach is the affiliation to the Yenish language.
