Château de Villars-Fontaine stands in Villars-Fontaine (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Villars-Fontaine stands on the slopes near the Meuzin river, northwest of the village, and is now part of a working wine estate. The present building incorporates a vaulted cellar and twelfth-century cellars, remnants of the earlier settlement of the canons of the Saint-Denis chapter. The rectangular main house, with its three storeys and dormer windows beneath a hipped roof, contrasts with these preserved medieval remains below ground.
