The Region of the 10 Thousanders (German: 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 absoluate elevation of the summits in the area.

Almost all of the highest summits of the Swabian Jura (each over 1,000 m above sea level (NHN)), including their highest summit (1,015.3 m), 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.
