Château de Buffières stands in Montbellet (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France.

On a small rise above the hamlet of Buffières, in Montbellet, stand the remains of a fortified house rebuilt in the 15th century after an earlier medieval castle was torn down by order of the Parliament of Paris. Of the original rectangular enclosure, a massive square keep, a five-sided tower and a corner tower still remain, now surrounded by farm buildings. The site is privately owned and cannot be visited, only viewed from outside.
