Longtown Castle, also termed Ewias Lacey Castle in early accounts, is a ruined Norman motte-and-bailey fortification in Longtown, Herefordshire. It was established in the 11th century by Walter de Lacy, reusing former Roman earthworks. The castle was then rebuilt in stone by Gilbert de Lacy after 1148, who also established the adjacent town to help pay for the work. By the 14th century, Longtown Castle had fallen into decline. Despite being pressed back into use during the Owain Glyndŵr rising in 1403, it fell into ruin. In the 21st century the castle is maintained by English Heritage and operated as a tourist attraction.

Die normannische Motte, die Hugh de Lacy um 1175, womöglich auf der Basis römischer Erdwerke erbauen ließ, ist von ungewöhnlicher Konstruktion mit drei Burghöfen und zwei großen Einfriedungen, die die benachbarte Siedlung schützen sollten. Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts wurde die Burg in Stein neu erbaut. Sie erhielt einen runden Donjon auf dem Mound und ein Torhaus am Zugang vom westlichen äußeren Hof zum westlichen inneren Hof. Im 14. Jahrhundert war Longtown Castle verfallen. Während des Aufstandes von Owain Glyndŵr 1403 wurde es nicht wieder nutzbar gemacht, sondern verfiel weiter.
