Tanabe Castle (田辺城, Tanabe-jō) is a flatland-style Japanese castle located in Maizuru, northern Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. At the end of the Edo period, Tanabe Castle was home to a branch of the Makino, daimyō of Tango-Tanabe Domain. The castle was nicknamed Maizuru Castle (舞鶴城, Maizuru-jō), and during the early Meiji period, the city was named "Maizuru" to avoid confusion with the city in southern Kyoto now known as Kyōtanabe.
