Daisendorf is a village and a commune with about 1600 inhabitants in south-western Germany. It is part of the Bodensee district, which is part of the Land Baden-Württemberg.

Daisendorf is situated on a hill about 2 km north of Meersburg. It lies above Lake Constance.

Daisendorf was first mentioned in the 8th century. The village has an ancient chapel, which was built in 1508 and holds unique fresques of the renaissance age. Daisendorf features several yearly happenings like the popular Weinfest, which takes place at the end of August as a celebration and tasting of harvest of the regional wineries.
