Baldern Castle is a former castle in the municipality of Stallikon and the canton of Zürich in Switzerland. The remains of the castle comprise a set of earthworks, situated on the Albis ridge at some 810 metres above sea level and about 4 kilometres south of the summit of Uetliberg. The earthworks are obscured by the site's woodland nature.
Some early chronicles suggest that the castle was built by Ludwig the German, the first king of East Francia, in 853AD, but there is no strong evidence for this. The castle is known to have been owned by the Counts of Lenzburg in the 12th century. There have been no significant archeological investigations of the site, and the date and reason it was abandoned is unknown.
