Château de Longueville stands in Longueville-sur-Scie (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 15th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Perched on a height overlooking the Scie valley, the ruins of Longueville castle recall an 11th-century Norman stronghold, later altered over the following centuries. Visitors can still make out a quadrangular enclosure flanked by several towers, a motte and traces of the former moat, close to the Saint-Pierre church. Listed as a historic monument, the site is best approached as an open-air archaeological remain rather than a furnished château.
