Château de Paulhac stands in Paulhac (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 15th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Paulhac, in the Haute-Loire department, a château stands atop the hill overlooking the village, built around a circular keep dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. Its two perpendicular wings were added in the 15th century, with interior decoration completed in the 17th and 18th centuries. At the end of the 19th century, the Cassagnes de Miramon family commissioned architect Honoré Vianne to modernise the building while reinforcing its medieval character in a neo-Gothic style. The château, damaged by fire in 2013, had its roof rebuilt in 2016 and has since undergone restoration work.
