Château de Béhéricourt stands in Béhéricourt (Oise), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Béhéricourt château preserves remains of a 14th century medieval fortress, heavily damaged during the Wars of Religion. From that era survive a fortified gateway, vaulted cellars and sections of the enclosure wall. The present building developed gradually from the 17th to 19th century, combining brick, sandstone and stone in an asymmetrical yet balanced design.
