Château de Guilleragues stands in Saint-Sulpice-de-Guilleragues (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

A hillside castle in Saint-Sulpice-de-Guilleragues, Gironde, traces its origins to the early 1300s. The original structure was a fortified dwelling with two bartizans and a pair of flanking towers, later extended in the 16th century through the addition of two wings that created a symmetrical layout, together with a lower courtyard and surrounding outbuildings. During the 17th century, ownership passed to Gabriel de Guilleragues, diplomat and author of the Portuguese Letters, linking the estate to an episode in French literary heritage.
