Frammersbach is a market community in the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany. In the early modern period, people from Frammersbach achieved international renown as drivers of wagons on the most important trans-European trade routes. Today, Frammersbach has a population of around 4,500.

This state-recognized resort (staatlich anerkannter Erholungsort) lies between Würzburg und Aschaffenburg, in the middle of the Spessart Nature Park (Naturpark Spessart).

The municipal territory borders on the state of Hesse in places and is not continuous: Habichsthal is separated from Frammersbach proper by the wooded unincorporated area of the Frammersbacher Forst (). On all other sides, the village is surrounded by the Heinrichsthaler Forst () (located in the neighbouring Aschaffenburg district).

Frammersbach is located in the valley of the Lohr river, while Habichsthal lies in a side valley of the Aubach, which flows into the Lohr at Partenstein. Out of a total municipal area of around 2,000 hectares, about 700 hectares are covered by communally-owned forest.

Nearby hills are the Wellersberg (), Eichenberg () and the Hermannskoppe.

The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Frammersbach and Habichsthal. These are also Frammersbach's two Ortsteile (boroughs).
