Château d'Aussillon stands in Aussillon (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In the old village centre of Aussillon, in the Tarn department, a few remains testify to a fortified castle thought to have been built around the 11th century. What can be seen today is mainly the honour courtyard and its entrance gate, since the main living quarters were long ago replaced by ordinary houses. A handful of old windows and pediments have survived the centuries, quiet traces of a stronghold that predates the village itself.
