The Castle of Castellano (Italian: Castello di Castellano, German: Schloss Kastellein) is a manor house built around 1000, in the village of Castellano, in the municipality of Villa Lagarina, in Trentino.
It is one of the most famous castles of Vallagarina, offering a panorama of the entire valley. Owned by numerous noble families, of which the most important was the Lodron, it was later transformed into an Austrian-Hungarian fortress in World War I.
It once housed frescoes, now preserved in the Civic Museum of Rovereto.
