Castillo de Moguer is a castle in Moguer, in the province of Huelva, Spain. It was renovated and enlarged in the 14th century.

Castillo de Moguer was built of mud-based mortar gravel, clay and lime. It is of an imperfect square plan in size, with four towers at the corners. A moat surrounded the castle, as evidenced by written records, but is not currently visible.
