The Durban castle (fr. Château de Durban) is a ruined castle in the village of Durban-Corbières in the Aude département of southwestern France (Occitania).
The castle was built on Roman remains in the 11th century for the lords of Durban, first mentioned in a document of 1018.
Today, the castle belongs to the commune and is cared for by the Comité de Sauvegarde du Vieux Durban (Committee for the Safeguarding of Old Durban).
It has been listed since 1926 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
