Zschopau (), is a town in the Erzgebirgskreis district of Saxony, Germany.
The town grew around the castle, which was built in the mid-12th century to protect the Salt Road, which crossed the Zschopau River here. Mining was also practiced from the 14th century onward, and in 1493, Zschopau was granted the privileges of a "Freie Bergstadt" However, its importance always lagged behind the major mining towns in the Ore Mountains.
