The Château de Montpoupon is a castle in the commune of Céré-la-Ronde, in the Indre-et-Loire department of France. It lies east of Tours and ten kilometers south of Montrichard, in a forested valley.
It began as a medieval fortress. The lords of Prie and Buzançais later altered it, and its postern was built in the 16th century.
Since the middle of the 19th century the castle has belonged to the Motte Saint Pierre family. It houses one of four French museums dedicated to hunting with dogs. The French Ministry of Culture has listed it as a monument historique since 1930. The hunting museum is one of only four of its kind in France.
