Château d'Azay-le-Ferron (English: Castle of Azay-le-Ferron) is a castle located in the commune of Azay-le-Ferron, France. Constructed between the 15th and 18th centuries, it was formely situated on the border of the Touraine and Berry provinces ( ) prior to provinces being superseded by départements on March 4, 1790. Château d'Azay-le-Ferron now stands in the département of Indre, central France.
Château d'Azay-le-Ferron features four architectural styles, mainly due to its staggered construction. The castle consists of four distinct sections, with a separate commons building that is connected to the main castle by a gallery inspired by a similar structure at the nearby Château de Valençay.
The Château is situated on 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) of gardens and 17 hectares (42 acres) of landscaped parkland, a feature of European country houses.
