Château d'Eybens stands in Eybens (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is not open to visitors.

Set on a wooded knoll above the old village of Eybens, this castle combines a medieval keep, recorded before 1120, with a residence rebuilt around 1610. Several families lived here over the centuries, from the Briançon to the Chaper, including the Surville, and left behind a chapel later converted into living quarters where trompe l'oeil frescoes were rediscovered. The surrounding park now hosts an archery course.
