Château de Fransu stands in Fransu (Somme), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century, first half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in 1737, Fransu château combines brick and stone construction, with its base partly rendered in flint, suggesting earlier foundations beneath. An addition in ashlar limestone was built around 1830. The property retains its period grounds, notably the broad axial avenue extending westward.
