Château d'Esvres stands in Esvres (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château d'Esvres stands on the hillside above the village and the Indre valley, on the site of a fortress raised in the early 13th century by Philippe d'Esvres. Round towers, sections of curtain wall and a Renaissance gateway cut through in the 16th century still bear witness to this medieval origin, while the main residence seen today dates from an 18th century rebuilding, later altered in the 19th century. The grounds also include a free standing dovecote to the east, linked to the château by a stone staircase set into the slope. Now divided among several owners, including a private school, the château is not open for general visits.
