Kaisheim () is a municipality in the district of Donau-Ries in Bavaria in Germany. It was the location of Kaisheim Abbey.

==History== Kaisheim was the local High Reeve's office and belonged to Kaisheim Abbey, an Imperial Abbey. The Abbey was founded in 1133 by Graf Heinrich III von Lechsgemünd and his wife Liutgard. The abbey was likely given Imperial Abbey status before 1370, however it was not until 1656 that the Imperial immediacy was recognized.
