Château de Cuzorn stands in Cuzorn (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Above the village of Cuzorn, in the Lémance valley, the castle ruins still stand on their rocky spur. Built in the 13th century, the structure retains a square keep with mullioned windows, along with a few sections of the enclosing wall. The site has a turbulent past, having been held by an English garrison for decades before being retaken and dismantled in the 15th century. Visitors come here to see genuine ruins rather than a restored castle, set within a rugged natural landscape.
