Die Burg Wasigenstein ist eine mittelalterliche Felsenburg bei Obersteinbach im Elsass. Sie liegt in 340 Metern Höhe auf einem westlichen Ausläufer des Maimont.

Der Wasigenstein besteht aus zwei Teilen: Groß- und Klein-Wasigenstein. Beide Burgen teilen sich auf der Südseite eine Unterburg. Die Anlage hat viele erhaltenen Felsentreppen, Durchgänge, einen Wohnturm und eine teilweise erhaltene Schildmauer aus Buckelquadern.
