Örtofta Castle is a castle in Eslöv Municipality in Scania, Sweden. The old part of the current structure contains remains of a castle-like main building built at the end of the 15th century.
It was probably Tönne Vernersen Parsberg, who died in 1521, who had the permanent structure built. Through inheritance, Örtofta came to belong to members of several noble families, including members of the Barnekow family.
Renovations were made to the estate and the surrounding baroque park. During the 1860s, the castle and its outbuildings took on their current form.
