Château-vieux d'Andouque stands in Crespin (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

On the commune of Crespin, in the Tarn department, a ruined keep overlooks a bend of the Andouquette stream, close to the village of Andouque that gave it its name. What remains stands seven to twelve metres high depending on the section, the last trace of a rectangular tower first recorded around the year 1000. The site is a bare ruin with no visitor facilities or marked path, of interest mainly to those curious about the area's medieval past.
