The Region of the 10 Thousanders ({{langx|de|Region der 10 Tausender}}) is a region in the Swabian Jura in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, the name of which alludes to the high mountain peaks in the area.

Almost all the highest mountains of the Swabian Jura (each over {{Höhe|1000|DE-NHN|link=true}}), including their highest summit ({{Höhe|1015.3|DE}}), are located in this relatively small region which only covers 20 km² around Deilingen, Wehingen and Gosheim in the southwestern Jura.

The name "Region of the 10 Thousanders" goes back to an action group that was initiated by various restaurants and municipalities of the Heuberg to promote regional tourism.
