The Castle Hill of Miranda (Portuguese: Castelo do Outeiro do Miranda), also known as the Fortress Hill (Portuguese: Fortaleza do Outeiro), is a medieval castle located in the village of Outeiro in the district of Bragança, Portugal.

The castle sits in a dominant position atop the so-called Castle Hill. It is about one kilometer east of the municipality of Outeiro and halfway between the town of Braganca and Vimioso. This fortification has survived since the Middle Ages. It served as a sentry along the border of Tras-os-Montes with the kingdom of Leon.
