Château de la Chipaudière stands in Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Malo, in the former parish of Paramé, the Chipaudière ranks among the largest malouinières, those country houses built by Saint-Malo shipowners at the height of their wealth. The main building, erected between 1710 and 1720 for the Magon family, has a seven-bay facade flanked by two wings, with an armorial projection facing the courtyard and an oval salon on the garden side. The estate retains its 18th-century chapel, its outbuildings and a French-style garden attributed to Le Nôtre, laid out in terraces leading to an ornamental pool. Still a private residence owned by descendants of the family, it remains open to visitors despite this status.
