Pfaffenberg is a mountain in Hohenstein-Ernstthal in the state of Saxony, southeastern Germany. It is part of the Saxon Uplands.

In 1911 a mountain inn was built on Pfaffenberg by the Ore Mountain Club, however in 2014 it was temporarily closed for renovations and has yet to fully reopen.[1]

In the 1860s, the Royal Saxon Triangulation operated station number 16 on the Pfaffenberg. The triangulation point is still visible.
