The Luxembourg Sandstone is a calcareous sandstone dating back to the Lower Black Jurassic period. It forms the near-surface geological substratum of large parts of Luxembourg, the so-called Ferschweiler Plateau, a plateau in the west of the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate, and the Bollendorf and Wißmanndorf Plateaus.
