The Château de Dyo is a ruined castle in the commune of Dyo in the Saône-et-Loire département of France. The castle stands on a hill in the village.
Of the large enceinte that once surrounded the summit of the hill, only stretches of the southern wall now remain - perhaps the part of the original castle itself. The bases of three circular towers are visible. To the west stands a high gate tower of almost square plan, pierced with a few openings, which seems to have been built in the 13th century. Residential buildings and barns - some built on the bases of the curtain walls - and vegetable gardens occupy the enceinte.
The castle is private property and not open to the public.
Occupation of the site seems to date back to the Carolingian era.
