Château de Couvicourt stands in Saint-Aubin-sur-Gaillon (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 18th century, milieu 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Aubin-sur-Gaillon, the château de Couvicourt is best glimpsed from the rue du Pont-Maillot, where a hedgerow frames a view of its façade facing the Seine valley. Built in the mid-18th century by the Rouen architect Joseph-Abel Couture for a gunpowder commissioner, it reflects the neoclassical style then practised in Normandy, with a three-bay projecting front and a blind oculus in its pediment. The grounds, lined with rows of lime trees, include a rose garden linked to a regional hospital charity. The estate, now the seat of a farming business, remains privately owned.
