Heilsbronn (German pronunciation: [haɪlsˈbʁɔn] ) is a town in the Ansbach district of the Mittelfranken administrative region of Franconia, in the German state of Bavaria between Nuremberg and Ansbach, in the wooded valley of the Rangau. Its hallmark is the Katharinenturm, a medieval tower.

Heilsbronn should not be confused with the far larger city of Heilbronn, which lies 130 km further west.
