'''Sulzburg''' ({{IPA|de|ˈzʊltsbʊʁk|-|De-Sulzburg.ogg}}) is a town in the district Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is situated on the western slope of the Black Forest, 20 km southwest of Freiburg.
Sulzburg had a long tradition of continuous Jewish settlement since medieval times. Around 1850, almost one third of its population of around 1,200 was Jewish. Sulzburg's lovely, barrel-vaulted synagogue has been completely restored.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.alemannia-judaica.de/sulzburg_synagoge.htm|title = Die Synagoge in Sulzburg (Landkreis Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald)}}</ref> There exists an old Jewish cemetery near the town.
