Château de Viescamp stands in Lacapelle-Viescamp (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set on a spur overlooking the Saint-Étienne-Cantalès lake, the château de Viescamp combines a square 15th-century keep, standing on 13th-century foundations, with a large residential wing added in the 18th century under a Mansart-style roof. The interior still holds troubadour-style decoration from the late 19th century. The site reflects several centuries of successive changes to the same manorial residence in the Cantal.
