Château d'Ambrus stands in Ambrus (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Located at the hamlet of Le Parc, near the village of Ambrus, this 13th-century castle is built around a square keep overlooking an almost square inner courtyard. First recorded in 1259 in a deed of homage shared among several co-lords, it has survived the centuries largely intact, apart from the loss of the keep's upper level during the Revolution. Visitors can still see medieval defensive features such as arrow slits, towers and watch turrets, along with a gatehouse with a bretèche likely dating from the late 16th century.
