The Castle of Florac (Le Château de Florac) is a 13th century castle located in the French town of Florac, in Lozère, in south-central France.

It originally belonged to the Barony of Anduze and passed through a number of feudal families. It was rebuilt in 1652 after the religious wars. During the French Revolution, the castle turned into a "salt loft" for storing salt. Since 1976, the castle has been the headquarters of the Cévennes National Park, who restored it.
