  Sensbachtal is a village and a former municipality in the Odenwaldkreis (district) in Hesse, Germany. Since January 2018, it is part of the new town Oberzent.
  
  ## Geography
  
  ### Location
  
  Sensbachtal lies in the southern Odenwald and the Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald at elevations of between 300 and 550 m, 10 km away from Eberbach on the Neckar.
  
  ### Neighbouring communities
  
  Sensbachtal borders in the east on the community of Hesseneck (Odenwaldkreis), in the south on the town of Eberbach (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis in Baden-Württemberg) and in the west and north on the town of Beerfelden (Odenwaldkreis).
  
  ### Constituent communities
  
  Sensbachtal’s Ortsteile are Hebstahl, Ober-Sensbach and Unter-Sensbach.
  
  ## Politics
  
  The municipal election held on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results:
  
  | Parties and voter communities | Parties and voter communities | % 2006 | Seats 2006 | % 2001 | Seats 2001 |
  | - | - | - | - | - | - |
  | GFW/ÜWS | Gemeinschaft Freier Wähler/Überparteiliche Wählervereinigung Sensbachtal | 100.0 | 15 | 65.6 | 10 |
  | DS | Dorfgemeinschaft Sensbachtal | – | – | 22.8 | 3 |
  | BVS | Bürger-Vereinigung-Sensbachtal | – | – | 11.6 | 2 |

  | Voter turnout in % | Voter turnout in % | 52.0 | 52.0 | 72.5 | 72.5 |
