The Castle is a video game released by ASCII Corporation in 1985 for the FM-7 and X1 computers. It was later ported to the MSX and NEC branded personal computers, and got a single console port for the SG-1000 in 1986. The game is set within a castle containing 100 rooms, most of which contain one or more puzzles.

It was followed by Castlequest (Castle Excellent in Japan). Both games are early examples of the Metroidvania genre.
