Castle Attack was a professional wrestling event promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). The event took place on February 27 and 28, 2021, in Osaka, Osaka at Osaka-jō Hall.

The event featured 12 matches across both days. The first day saw Kazuchika Okada defeating Evil in the main event with other prominent matches including Jay White defeating Tomohiro Ishii. The second day main event saw Kota Ibushi successfully defend the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Tetsuya Naito, making this the first time the IWGP Intercontinental Championship was defended separately from the IWGP Heavyweight Championship since Wrestle Kingdom 14. Other matches on the card for the second day included El Desperado defeating El Phantasmo and Bushi to win the vacant IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, which the title was vacated by former champion Hiromu Takahashi after suffering a shoulder injury (Takahashi was originally scheduled to defend the title against El Phantasmo at the event). Hiroshi Tanahashi also successfully defended the NEVER Openweight Championship against Great-O-Khan.[3]
