Bischberg () is a municipality in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg lying at the forks of the rivers Regnitz and Main some 5 km west of Bamberg.
The community's name derives from Bischofsberg. Supposedly, the Bishop (Bischof in German) of Würzburg charged the community's founder with establishing a base at the important confluence of the rivers Regnitz and Main.
