Château de Chessy stands in Chessy (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Chessy château visible today is not the seventeenth-century residence built for Jean de Fourcy, superintendent of buildings under Henry IV, whose interiors were decorated by the painter Simon Vouet: that original house disappeared between 1799 and 1815. What remains are the estate's former outbuildings, including a north facade and a seventeenth-century dovecote, reworked in 1932. The site now serves as the headquarters of the Val d'Europe local government.
