Rawa Mazowiecka Castle (Polish: Zamek w Rawie Mazowieckiej) is a Gothic architectural style square formation castle located in Rawa Mazowiecka, in the lowlands of the river Rawka and the river Rylka. Currently it is a renovated ruin. It was renovated after the 1958 hurricane, which partially destroyed the whole castle, before the renovation there was only the tower, after the renovation, the structure was rebuilt.

According to the scriptures of Jan Długosz, the castle was built by Casimir III the Great, and the stronghold's function was to protect the southern borders of Masovia.

In 1562, the parliament in Piotrków designated Rawa as the seat of the Tax Commission for the army, and therefore the so-called the Rawa treasury for the needs of the army established by Sigismund II Augustus. During this period, the castle was also the seat of the starosta of Rawa, municipal courts were held there and archives were located there.
