Château de Vézins-de-Lévézou stands in Vézins-de-Lévézou (Aveyron), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing above the medieval village of Vézins-de-Lévézou on its rocky spur, this 17th century castle still carries the look of a former stronghold. Notable features include the south facade's central bay, flanked by turrets and topped with pierced battlements added in the 19th century, along with a wrought iron gate dating from the 18th century at the far end of the access lane. The inner courtyard, lined with four wings arranged in a horseshoe shape, and the neo gothic interior decoration round out this building, which has remained in the hands of the Lévézou de Vézins family since the 15th century.
