Borreby Castle (Danish: Borreby Slot, pronounced [ˈpoːɐˌpyˀ ˈslʌt]) is a fortified manor house located near Skælskør, Slagelse Municipality, in the south-west corner of the island of Zealand, in eastern Denmark. The present main building was constructed for chancellor Johan Friis in the middle of the 16th century. The estate was acquired by Joachim Melchior Holten Castenschiold in 1783 and has remained in the hands of his descendents since then.
The main building and a number of other buildings were listed in the Danish register of protected buildings and places in 1918. A barn from 1593 has been converted into a theatre and music venue. The estate covers 722 hectares of land.
