O Castelo de Almourol, no Ribatejo, localiza-se na Freguesia de Praia do Ribatejo, Concelho de Vila Nova da Barquinha, Distrito de Santarém, em Portugal.
Erguido num afloramento de granito a 18 m acima do nível das águas, numa pequena ilha de 310 m de comprimento por 75 m de largura, no médio curso do rio Tejo, um pouco abaixo da sua confluência com o rio Zêzere, à época da Reconquista integrava a chamada Linha do Tejo, actual Região de Turismo dos Templários. Constitui um dos exemplos mais representativos da arquitectura militar da época, evocando simultaneamente os primórdios do reino de Portugal e a Ordem dos Templários, associação que lhe reforça a aura de mistério e romantismo. Com a extinção da Ordem do Templo o castelo de Almourol passa a integrar o património da Ordem de Cristo (que foi a sucessora em Portugal da Ordem dos Templários).
