Ancien manoir du Pont-Créon stands in Caen (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Located in the Saint-Ouen district, away from Caen's historic centre, this 16th-century former manor stands out for its carved entrance doorway, a pavilion topped with a pyramidal roof, and a large dovecote. An inscription on the building names Georges de La Motte, the original owner of the estate. It can be seen from the street, at the corner of Rue du Pont-Créon and Rue du Mesnil, in what is now a residential area.
