The Orensberg, also known in the region as the Orensfels(en) due to the striking rock formations on its summit plateau, is a hill, 581.2 m above sea level (NHN), near Frankweiler in the county of Südliche Weinstraße in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The hill is part of the Haardt mountain range that forms the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest.

At the summit is an ancient circular rampart, now designated as a cultural monument, and the natural monument of the Orensfelsen rocks.
