Château de Sansac stands in Loches (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Loches, beside one of the branches of the Indre river, the château de Sansac takes its name from its builder, Louis Prévost de Sansac, who had it erected in the early 16th century. The central building, flanked by two pavilions and topped with steep gables, bears above its entrance a bust of King Francis I dated 1529, a copy of the original work sold at auction in 1899 and since lost. Also notable is the frieze of circles running along the upper floor and the staircase marked by its round-arched paired windows.
