Castle Combe Castle stood to the north of the village of Castle Combe, Wiltshire, England (grid reference ST839779).

The castle was a medieval motte and bailey castle standing on a limestone spur overlooking the Bybrook River. It was probably built by the de Dunstanvilles in the 12th century, and was unusual in that it had a keep with at least four and possibly five baileys. Earthworks and some stonework remain.

Since 1981 the site has been a scheduled ancient monument.
