Château de Chevannes stands in Saint-Racho (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set at the bottom of a valley where the Sornin and Bief streams meet, Chevannes castle stands on the site of a fortified house first founded in the 12th century, though the buildings seen today date from the late 16th century. Its U-shaped layout encloses a main courtyard, flanked by a long residential wing with two round tower turrets and two outbuilding wings. Traces remain of an earlier quadrangular plan surrounded by moats, partly demolished after the Revolution.
