The Castro of Viladonga is a Galaico-Roman hillfort located in the municipality of Castro de Rey, in Galicia, Spain. It stands on a hill 535 metres above sea level, from which much of the Terra Chá district of Lugo can be seen. On 11 December 2009 it was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural by the Government of Galicia.
Archaeological work at the hillfort began in 1971. It is one of the best known and best preserved hillforts in Galicia, largely because since 1983 it has had a dedicated on-site museum.
