Château de Blanquefort-sur-Briolance stands in Blanquefort-sur-Briolance (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set on a rocky spur above the Briolance valley, this castle in the Lot-et-Garonne combines a 13th-century keep and gatehouse with a 15th-century gun tower and a more classical residential wing. Its stonework traces seven centuries of successive owners, from the lords of Pujols and Fumel to the Roquefeuil family, who later built the castle of Bonaguil. The site still shows the rock-cut ditch of the old approach and several terraces shaped over the course of later works.
