Château d'Ogny stands in Marcilly-Ogny (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In Marcilly-Ogny, at the hamlet of Ogny in the Côte-d'Or, the château retains traces of a fortified house first recorded in 1311. Of the four original corner towers, only a moated platform, a 17th-century pavilion and a dovecote-turned-tower remain, the whole having been rebuilt after the Wars of Religion and later updated in the 18th century. Around the buildings, a small formal garden holds a collection of box, hostas, daylilies and peonies, while the outbuildings' courtyard contains a well and an old forge.
