Château de Montfort stands in Saint-Sulpice (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

On a wooded hill above the Nant Bruyant ravine, in the hamlet of Montfort, stand the remains of a 14th-century fortified castle, once the seat of a lordship raised to a barony in 1563. Little survives beyond traces of a square keep, fragments of round towers and a stretch of walling now overgrown with vegetation. This is a site for visitors drawn to overgrown ruins and Savoyard feudal history rather than to a restored monument.
