Château de Villers-Saint-Paul stands in Villers-Saint-Paul (Oise), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Villers-Saint-Paul, also known as château de Mortefontaine, no longer stands: the building was demolished in 1971 after decades of neglect. Built of white stone with a central pavilion and a French-style roof, it once stood within a forty-hectare park fed by the waters of the Brèche. A housing estate now occupies the site, in the Oise department. Only the names of the surrounding streets still recall the vanished estate.
