Zamek Golesz w Krajowicach – a medieval castle located in Krajowice, in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, now in the form of a ruin.

The history of Golesz reaches back to the 13th and 14th centuries. At the beginning it had the form of a stronghold; a castle was probably erected on this site after 1420. Over the centuries the building mainly served as the seat of the starosta, who on behalf of the Benedictine abbey in Tyniec administered its estates in the basin of the Wisłoka and the Biała. It also housed a feudal court. It was probably destroyed during the invasion by the Transylvanian troops of Prince George II Rákóczi in 1657.
