Triberg im Schwarzwald is a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, located in the Schwarzwald-Baar district in the Black Forest. Triberg lies in the middle of the Black Forest between 500 and 1038 metres above sea level.

A private hospital, Asklepios Klinik,[3] is the town's major employer.

The number of inhabitants was estimated at around 4.650 in 2022.[4] In 2020, the population was estimated at 4,656.
