Château de Dijon stands in Dijon (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Dijon no longer stands as a visible building: only underground vestiges remain, two galleries that once linked fortified structures of the city. One ran between the former Sainte-Bénigne tower and the Guillaume tower, the other formed a horseshoe-shaped passage beneath the outwork known as boulevard Louis XII. These galleries now pass beneath streets, a boulevard and private properties in Dijon, making this a site of historical interest rather than a visitable monument.
