Château de Sigy-le-Châtel stands in Sigy-le-Châtel (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Perched on a spur overlooking a pass in the Mâconnais region, the remains of the château de Sigy-le-Châtel rank among the oldest fortified sites in the area. Sections of curtain wall, the bases of two round towers pierced with gun loops, and the corner of a building with a turret survive from a stronghold first recorded in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th. The property is privately owned and closed to visitors, though its grounds host a theatre festival every summer.
