Château de Montcoy stands in Montcoy (Saône-et-Loire), 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 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Bresse chalonnaise, the château de Montcoy rises in pink brick at the end of a balustraded stone bridge, still guarded by two carved lions marking the former drawbridge. Built mainly between 1670 and 1680 on the remains of a 15th-century stronghold, it retains wings added in the 18th century and moats that still trace the outline of the earlier fortress. Still a private family property, it is mainly seen from outside, the bridge, moats, park and the pond facing the west front.
