Château de Saint-Privat stands in Saint-Paul-Flaugnac (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 15th century, first quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing on the arid Quercy Blanc plateau, Saint-Privat castle occupies the site of a vanished village, Saint-Privat-de-Montcabrier. Its limestone rubble walls still bear traces of the 13th and 14th century fortified house, including two pointed-arch doorways and fragments of a medieval twin window. A circular stair tower, added in the 15th century at the centre of the main facade, reflects the improvements made by the Fenelo family after the Hundred Years' War. An adjoining chapel, rebuilt around 1500, retains painted decoration depicting the arrest of Christ.
