Château de Chaudenay-le-Château stands in Chaudenay-le-Château (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Perched on a rocky spur above the Préon valley, Chaudenay castle stands in ruins at the northern edge of the village. The remains, dating back to the 13th century, show a complex defensive layout: a crumbling keep, the Gissey tower, curtain walls and traces of a former drawbridge. The exposed structure reveals centuries of successive building phases, from arrow slits to hoardings, on a site that has seen no restoration since it was purchased in 1952.
