Manoir de Quettreville, dit Manoir de Surcouf stands in Quettreville-sur-Sienne (Manche), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set in the countryside of the Manche department, this Norman manor owes its nickname to the famous privateer Surcouf, who owned it in the early 19th century. Built mainly at the end of the 16th century and later altered around 1740, it stands out for being placed at the centre of a courtyard ringed by farm buildings. The site still holds a chapel founded in 1460, a fish pond and long stretches of an enclosing wall, features of a sober architecture that kept to Gothic forms rather than Renaissance ornament, with a clear defensive intent.
