Château du Bourgnon stands in Tours-sur-Meymont (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Originally medieval, the Bourgnon château was substantially rebuilt during the final third of the 18th century. Successive renovations between 1772 and 1792 brought its present form: expansions, garden design, and the completion of the east wing. Its interiors retain ornate Louis XVI period decoration, including carved panelling, stucco medallions, and trompe-l'oeil paintings that distinguish its main staircase.
