Flitwick Castle was an 11th century castle located in the town of Flitwick, in the county of Bedfordshire, England (grid reference TL02723428).
It was a small, timber Motte-and-bailey castle, surrounded by a moat. The castle was mentioned in the Domesday Book, in 1086, as being under the ownership of William Lovet, a Norman. Lovet had displaced Alwin, who had been the Saxon owner of Flitwick prior to the Norman Invasion.
The earthwork remains of Flitwick Castle still exist, in Temple field. The site is a Scheduled Monument.
