Fronhausen (German pronunciation: [fʁoːnˈhaʊzn̩]) is a municipality in the south of Marburg-Biedenkopf district in the administrative region of Gießen in Hessen, Germany.
The municipal area stretches along the district's southern boundary in the Lahn valley and its environs between Marburg and Gießen, and borders in the north on the municipality of Weimar, in the east on the municipality of Ebsdorfergrund, in the south on the towns of Staufenberg and Lollar, and in the west on the municipality of Lohra.
It was formed out of seven former municipalities in the early 1970s as part of Hessen's municipal reforms at that time. The former municipalities were:
