Heringsdorf is a municipality and a seaside resort town in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. The municipality was formed in January 2005 out of the former municipalities of Heringsdorf, Ahlbeck and Bansin. Until January 2006, the municipality was called Dreikaiserbäder.

It is located on the north coast of the island of Usedom, about 10 km by rail northwest of Świnoujście.
Heringsdorf has been one of the most popular resorts on the German Baltic shore since its foundation. It consists of three parts: Ahlbeck on the Polish border, Heringsdorf proper (central part) and Bansin in the west. These three Kaiserbäder were the favourite spa of the German Emperors, and also called the bathtub of Berlin. It has scenic houses and mansions in the style of Bäderarchitektur.
