Frauenstein () is the westernmost borough of the city of Wiesbaden, located in the Rhine Main Area near Frankfurt and capital of the federal state of Hesse, Germany. The borough has a population of approximately 2,400. The formerly independent village was incorporated into Wiesbaden in 1928.
The historic village center is located in the south of the borough. In the center of it are the ruins of a medieval castle, of which the keep still stands.

Around late April and early May, its blooming cherry trees make Frauenstein a popular destination.
