Château de La Roche-en-Brenil stands in La Roche-en-Brenil (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set on a hillside in the Auxois region, at La Roche-en-Brenil, this moated château still bears traces of its medieval fortress origins beneath the changes made in the late 16th century. Two round towers mark the corners of the main residential wing, while an 18th century wing with a Mansard roof extends it at a right angle. The approach crosses a fixed bridge and a drawbridge, and the surrounding English-style park, laid out in the 19th century, is open for walking.
