Weston Turville Castle is a motte-and-bailey in Buckinghamshire, England. It consists of a mound (a 'motte') with two enclosures (baileys). The castle was built in the 11th or 12th century and first mentioned in 1145. It was held by Geoffrey de Turville in 1173–74 when it was demolished (slighted) on the instructions of Henry II.

After the castle was destroyed a manor house was built in the bailey. The site is protected as a scheduled monument and was partly excavated in 1985.
