Château de Monteaux stands in Monteaux (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Monteaux, in the Loir-et-Cher, combines two buildings from different periods joined at an angle: a 16th century section flanked by two round towers, and a late 18th century wing opened by a columned porch with a triangular pediment. The estate also retains an 18th century water mill, known as the Gièvre mill, whose mechanism survives intact and which takes the unexpected form of a chinoiserie folly. Together they reflect the taste for ornamental gardens and their decorative structures at the end of the Ancien Régime.
