Château de Soirié stands in Groisy (Haute-Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

On a wooded spur overlooking the hamlet of Le Plot, in Groisy, stand the ruins of the Soirié castle, a medieval stronghold built around the early 11th century. Known under several spellings (Soirier, Soyrier), the site was the seat of a minor local lordship caught up in the conflicts between Savoy, the Dauphiné and Faucigny during the 14th century. Only scattered remains survive today, further damaged by a fire in 1920, in a natural setting above the meeting point of two streams.
