The Eisenkammer Pirna ("Iron Chamber") was an electoral Saxon institution, whose task it was to distribute and allocate the iron products within its area of responsibility (Revier), the so-called Pirna Iron Mining District (Pirnaer Eisenrevier). It was founded in 1472 and existed until 1686. It had its seat in Haus am Markt 10, the present town community hall, in the Old Town (Altstadt) of Pirna.

There were other Eisenkammern - the authorities of the iron businesses - in the former Austria iron centres of Steyr and Scheibbs.
