Herdwangen-Schönach is a town in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

The municipality lies 12 kilometers north of the Bodensee, in the upper Linzgau, between the cities Pfullendorf in the north and Ueberlingen in the south. With the municipality reform of 1974 the three municipalities Herdwangen, Großschönach and Oberndorf were merged into one. The coat of arms was arranged from the coats of arms of the three predecessor municipalities.
