Glandyfi Castle in Glandyfi, Ceredigion, Wales, is a mock castle dating from the early 19th century. It was built for George Jeffreys, a barrister and High Sheriff of Cardiganshire, in around 1819.

Jeffreys’ great-uncle, Edward, had purchased the estate in 1792. The architect is not known, although John Hiram Haycock has been suggested. Jeffreys and his wife were friends of Thomas Love Peacock, the novelist and poet, whose wedding took place at the castle in 1820.

The only castellated country house in the county, Glandyfi is a Grade II listed building.

A Great Western Railways 7800 'Manor' Class locomotive was named after the castle, but was withdrawn and scrapped in the 1960s.
