Château de Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer stands in Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Overlooking Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, at the mouth of the Dun valley, this Norman château stands on the site of a medieval fortified house, of which only the vaulted cellars and a cylindrical dovecote remain. The current main building, in Louis XIII style, dates from before 1650 and combines grey stone and pink brick on the north wing with grey stone and reused flint on the south wing. A beech avenue planted in the 18th century by the Choiseul Gouffier family leads to the entrance gate, and the grounds border a stretch of coastline protected by the Conservatoire du littoral.
