Tibava Castle (also Podhoroď) is a vanished castle on the north-eastern edge of the village of Podhoroď in the district of Sobrance in the Košice Region in Slovakia. The castle was founded at the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and ceased to exist during the first quarter of the fourteenth century. Small parts of masonry have survived from it, which are protected as a national cultural monument.
Until 2009 the castle hill was protected as the natural monument Podhorodský hradný vrch, declared in 1986 to protect a morphologically striking klippe with calcicolous vegetation.
