Sigouri Castle (Greek: Κάστρο του Σιγουρίου, της Σιγουρής Turkish: Sigur Kalesi) was a medieval castle in Cyprus of which there are no remains. Its location facilitated as a stopover for troops from Nicosia, the capital, on their way to the coastal harbours of either Famagusta or Larnaca. It is de facto situated in Northern Cyprus. The castle was built in 1391 as a frontier fortress, after the Genoese conquest of Famagusta. It fell into disuse after the Venetian takeover of the island.
