The Schiener Berg, also called the Schienerberg, is a hill ridge between Horn in the county of Constance in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and Stein am Rhein in the district of Stein, in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen. It is up to and part of the Lake Constance peninsula of Höri in the Southwest Hegau Uplands. The name is derived from the settlement of Schienen, which is roughly in the centre of the region.

The Schiener Berg lies west of the Untersee, the smaller of the two lakes forming Lake Constance between these settlements (viewed clockwise around Schienen, 600 m, beginning in the northwest): Arlen to the northwest, Worblingen to the north-northwest, Bohlingen to the north, Bankholzen, Bettnang, Weiler and Iznang to the northeast, Gundholzen and Horn to the east, Gaienhofen to the east-southeast, Hemmenhofen to the southeast, Wangen to the south-southeast and Kattenhorn and Öhningen to the south; they all belong to the county of Constance (Konstanz) and, apart from the first four, lie on the Untersee or its arm, the Zeller See. On Swiss soil, it is bounded by the following settlements in the canton of Schaffhausen: Stein am Rhein to the southwest, Hemishofen to the west-southwest, Wilen to the west and Ramsen to the west-northwest.
