Abensberg (German pronunciation: [ˈaːbənsˌbɛʁk]) is a town in Bavaria, Germany on the Abens, a tributary of the Danube, 18 m. S.W. of Regensburg, with which it is connected by rail and motorway (A93).

It has a small spa and used to be a spa town, and its sulphur baths are resorted to for the cure of rheumatism and gout. The water is not used any more. Roman remains exist in the neighbourhood.

Here, in the Battle of Abensberg on 20 April 1809, Napoleon gained a signal victory over the Austrians under the Archduke Louis and General Hiller.

Abensberg is the birthplace of Johannes Aventinus.

Abensberg is also a seal district of the Hallertau hops planting area. Abensberg is also one of the most important asparagus-planting areas in Germany.
