Neißeaue is a municipality in the district Görlitz, Saxony, Germany. The easternmost point in Germany lies within its municipal limits, including Deschka, roughly 7.5 km north-east of Neißeaue's town center, the easternmost settlement in Germany.

From German unification in 1871 until World War II, the title was held by the village of Gingen, in East Prussia.
