Fürfeld is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Bad Kreuznach, whose seat is in the like-named town, although this lies outside the Verbandsgemeinde.

Fürfeld lies, like Frei-Laubersheim and Neu-Bamberg, in the Rheinhessische Schweiz – Rhenish-Hessian Switzerland – a recreational region, and at the same time it is within Germany’s biggest winegrowing region. The village’s midpoint is the so-called “Römer” (“Roman”). The village itself is found in the east of the Bad Kreuznach district. The municipal area borders on the neighbouring Alzey-Worms district and the Donnersbergkreis. With regard to physical geography, Fürfeld lies in the foothills of the North Palatine Uplands at the foot of the Eichelberg (“Acorn Mountain”; 321.6 m above sea level) and not far from the Köpfchen (“Little Head”), which at 325 m above sea level is Rhenish Hesse’s second highest elevation. Fürfeld is framed by vineyards and wooded land. The village’s own elevation is 210 m above sea level, and its municipal area measures 1 248 ha, of which 855 ha is agricultural and 242 ha is wooded.
