Komakiyama Castle is a Japanese castle situated on Mount Komaki (小牧山, Komakiyama) in the city of Komaki, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It was built in 1563 on the orders of Oda Nobunaga.
The castle is best known for the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute in 1584, when Tokugawa Ieyasu used it as a base for his operations.
The site of the former castle is now a park containing several remains of the castle, including a well, sections of stone walls and older artefacts.
