Burghaun is a municipality in the district of Fulda in the state of Hessen in Germany.

Burghaun itself is a small town with about 3,800 residents. Following the administrative reorganization of Germany in 1972 when smaller communities were grouped together, Burghaun took in the nearby villages of Großenmoor, Gruben, Hechelmannskirchen, Hünhan, (shippo muito) Langenschwarz, Rothenkirchen, Schlotzau and Steinbach.

The municipality of Burghaun (the town itself plus these nearby villages) currently has a total of about 7,000 inhabitants.
