Château de Commune stands in Martigny-le-Comte (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: limite 13th century 14th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the hamlet of Commune, within the municipality of Martigny-le-Comte, stand the ruined walls of a former stronghold dating from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Three round towers still rise above the curtain walls, alongside a square tower that likely served as the keep. The structure forms an irregular quadrangle, once surrounded by moats that have since been filled in. This is a site to be viewed from outside rather than a monument open for touring.
