Château de Montseveroux stands in Montseveroux (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. Only part of the building can be visited.

Standing in the centre of the village of Montseveroux, in the Isère department, this 13th and 14th century castle was built on the site of an earlier fortified house, following a design attributed to Jacques de Saint-Georges. Four round towers anchor the corners of its rectangular layout, alongside a gate tower with drawbridge on the west front. Now owned by the municipality, the building houses the town hall and hosts local associations, so visits are limited to the exterior.
