Pestenacker is a prehistoric pile dwelling located in Weil (Bavaria, Germany). It was used at least between 3495–3481 BC by the Neolithic Altheimer Gruppe. The up to 19 houses were built on wet ground and therefore were placed above piles and connected with timber trackways. The settlement was surrounded by a wooden fence.

The settlement was discovered in 1934 and partially excavated between 1988-1993 and 2000-2004. Today, a reconstruction of one of the houses can be visited.
The site is part of the UNESCO world heritage Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps.
