Košťálov Castle (Czech: hrad Košťálov) is a ruined castle in the territory of Jenčice in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It is a donjon-type castle, built on the Košťál basalt hill, part of the western Central Bohemian Uplands. It was built around 1276. In the years 1276–1303, the nobleman Petr of Košál or Košálov is mentioned, and it is certain that this refers to Košťálov. However, the first written mention of the castle is from 1372. It belonged to the family of Kaplíř of Sulevice, under whose ownership the castle served as a fortified residence. The castle was gradually abandoned by the early 17th century and has remained in a state of ruin.
