Birkach (pronunciation: /ˈbɪərkeɪx/) is an urban district in the south of Stuttgart located on the Filderebene just north of Plieningen. Of the districts of Stuttgart, Birkach is among the smallest.

The first mention of Birkach occurred in 1140, and the town was mentioned again 150 years later, when it was sold to Bebenhausen Abbey in 1290.
