Château de Mayrac stands in Mayrac (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Mayrac, in the Lot department, a small late 15th century château stands out for its round tower, half set into the walls, linking two wings arranged at a right angle. Notable features include the carved entrance door, topped with an ogee arch and a pediment bearing damaged coats of arms, and a decorated fireplace in the great hall on the first floor. Owned by the same family since the late 19th century, the building is still lived in today.
