Château de Virelade stands in Virelade (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Graves wine region, the château de Virelade owes its present appearance to a rebuilding carried out around 1850 for senator Joseph de Carayon Latour, designed by architect Théodore Duphot. The estate combines the main house with a neo-Gothic chapel, outbuildings and a landscaped park laid out by Bühler and later by Duprat, crossed by an arranged waterway. A fire in 2008 damaged the château, though its octagonal tower and porch with Ionic columns remain recognisable features of the site.
