Château de Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules stands in Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules (Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France.

Located in Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules, in the Loire department, this castle combines remnants of a medieval fortified house with a 19th-century restoration in a neo-Renaissance style. Notable features include a grand staircase with a wrought-iron railing and a keep room decorated with mural paintings. Still privately owned by the same family, the estate passed through the hands of several notable owners since the 12th century, including the counts of Forez and a family related to the Medici.
