Château d'Eyrans stands in Saint-Médard-d'Eyrans (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, fourth quarter of the 17th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château d'Eyrans stands on a rectangular courtyard enclosed by a monumental gate. Although the lordship dates from the 14th century, the building visible today was constructed mainly in the 17th and 18th centuries, with 19th-century alterations. A round tower with thick walls, remaining from a 16th-century stronghouse, is the oldest part. The complex, comprising a main residence flanked by two pavilions and outbuildings, reflects the layout of a Bordeaux aristocratic dwelling.
