Château de Champsigny stands in Saint-Léger-du-Bois (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In Saint-Léger-du-Bois, in the Saône-et-Loire department, the Château de Champsigny retains only a monumental gatehouse and a square tower from what was once a larger medieval complex, set against a hillside. The gate, which once guarded a drawbridge, still bears its machicolations and two flanking gunports. The adjoining tower contains a large room with a fireplace, extended by an attached square turret. Still privately owned by descendants of Marshal de Mac-Mahon, the château is not open to visitors.
