The Castillo de Santa Gadea del Cid is a ruined fortification located in the municipality of Santa Gadea del Cid, in the province of Burgos, within the autonomous community of Castilla y León.
The current castle dates back to the 15th century, though it was built on the site of a previous building from the 11th century. In 2010, the site was included on a list of heritage at risk, but it was removed in 2018 following restoration work on the existing keep.
The ruins hold the status of Bien de Interés Cultural. This status was acquired through a decree published on May 5, 1949, in the Official State Gazette. The decree stated that all castles in the country, regardless of their state of ruin, remained under the protection of the State.
