Lavendon Castle stood to the north of the village of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, England.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.

A motte or ringwork and bailey were mentioned in a pipe roll of 1192–3. The motte was destroyed in 1944 when much 12th-century pottery was found. A farmhouse and garden terracing built in the 17th century have effectively destroyed the former mound and today only earthworks remain.
