Château de Cruzille stands in Cruzille (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: 12th century, 13th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Perched on a spur above the village and a small valley, the château de Cruzille shows a medieval outline dating back to the 12th century, reshaped through centuries of conflict. Two round towers of its eastern wing, a straight stone staircase and a round-arched gateway recall the original fortified quadrangle, partly destroyed during fighting in the late 16th century. As a private property, it cannot be visited inside, though its shape can be seen from around the village.
