Château de Châtillon-sur-Lison stands in Cussey-sur-Lison (Doubs), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 17th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Châtillon-sur-Lison stands atop a wooded hilltop overlooking the point where the Loue and Lison rivers meet, in the commune of Cussey-sur-Lison in the Doubs department. A fortified site here is recorded as early as the 12th century, though the present curved main building, built around a central projecting tower, largely dates from the 13th and 16th centuries. Several rooms still have their original fireplaces and wood panelling, including three rooms with Louis XVI décor that rank among the finest in the house.
