Bánffy Castle (or Bonţida Bánffy Castle) is an architectonic Baroque monument situated in Bonţida, a village in the vicinity of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It was owned by the Bánffy family (of which the last member was Miklós Bánffy), sometimes also called "The Versailles of Transylvania".

The castle was partly destroyed during World War II by German troops and neglected by the communist regime in Romania; it is currently being restored with help from the World Monuments Fund.
