Sagunto Castle is a fortress overlooking the town of Sagunto, near Valencia in Spain. The site's history extends back over two thousand years and includes Iberian, Roman and medieval remains. The castle was declared a National Monument in 1931.

The visible walls are largely Islamic in origin, with substantial modifications taking place after the end of Islamic rule, with the defenses being strengthened and modernized. In 1811, during the Napoleonic Wars, the French laid siege to the castle, and were ultimately successful in taking it, after which the defenses were repaired.
