Hanaskog Castle (Swedish: Hanaskogs slott) is a manor house in Östra Göinge Municipality in Scania, Sweden. The building is located at Hanaskogs gård 2130, Hanaskog.
In 1827, Hanaskog was sold to Count Carl Axel Wachtmeister, who owned the fideicommission Vanås. Between 1852 and 1854, he had the main building renovated and extended on two floors and turned the appearance into a manor house.
Ownership of Hanaskog was transferred by 1891 to Baron Gerhard Louis De Geer. He was the governor of Kristianstad County and the son of countess Karolina Lovisa Wachtmeister and Louis Gerhard De Geer af Finspång, the Prime Minister of Sweden.
