Katz Castle is a hillside castle on the right bank of the Rhine in St. Goarshausen, Rhineland-Palatinate.

The castle was originally called Neukatzenelnbogen Castle. The vernacular has shortened this to Burg Katz.

Katz Castle has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002.

The castle was built around 1360 to 1371 by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen. The reason was probably the immediate vicinity of the electoral Trier Castle Maus, which had been under construction since 1356. Furthermore, the castle together with Rheinfels Castle on the other side of the Rhine formed a customs bar and thus strengthened the network of castles that the Lords of Katzenelnbogen controlled in south-west Germany.

Today the castle is privately owned in Japan. It is not possible to visit the castle.

The many castles on the Middle Rhine are well worth seeing.
