Castle Rushen is a medieval castle located in Castletown in the south of the Isle of Man. It towers over the Market Square to the south-east and the harbour to the north-east.

The castle was built to protect the entrance to the Silverburn river and was gradually developed between the 13th and 16th Century. Today, it is run as a museum by Manx National Heritage, depicting the history of the Kings and Lords of Mann.

Castle Rushen also gives its name to the nearby high school, Castle Rushen High School.
