Spiegelberg is a municipality in the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Spiegelberg's name comes from a glassworking manufactory built in the town in 1699 that produced mirrors from 1705 to 1794.[2]
The municipality (Gemeinde) of Spiegelberg is located at the northern edge of the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg, along its border with the district of Heilbronn. Spiegelberg is situated in the valley of the Lauter and within the Swabian-Franconian Forest. Elevation above sea level in the municipal area ranges from a high of 566m (1,857feet) Normalnull (NN) to a low of 291m (955feet) NN.[2]
A portion of the Federally protected nature reserve is located in Spiegelberg's municipal area.[2]

The industrial district of Roßstaig and the abandoned villages of Glashausen and Lassweiler are also located in the municipal area.[2]
Spiegelberg's municipal coat of arms is divided party per pale into a left, yellow half and a right, green half. Alternating between these two colors is an oak tree rooted to a three-pointed mountain.[2]
