Château de l'Épinay stands in Carquefou (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Carquefou, the château de l'Épinay stands on the site of a fortress damaged during the Wars of Religion, rebuilt between 1642 and 1650 for Guillaume Harouys. The work is attributed to the architect François Mansart, giving the ensemble the architectural rigor typical of the 17th century. Several families held the estate over time, from the Becdelièvre to the Montbeillard, before the site received historic monument protection.
