Château de Chantemille stands in Ahun (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Ahun, in the Creuse department, the château de Chantemille stands on a spur above the Creuse river, on a site fortified as early as the 10th century. The present building, begun in 1470 by Louis du Puy, seneschal of La Marche, is typical of the region's fortified manor houses, with its round corner towers and square stair tower. An early 16th century wing was later added, and the ruined chapel, destroyed several times over the centuries, survives only as a terrace overlooking the river.
