Scheinfeld (German pronunciation: [ˈʃaɪnfɛlt] ⓘ; East Franconian: Schafld) is a town in the Neustadt (Aisch)-Bad Windsheim district, in Bavaria, Germany. It is situated 14 km northwest of Neustadt (Aisch), and 40 km east of Würzburg. Schloss Schwarzenberg is adjacent to the town. The town is home to an Adidas testing factory.
