Castletown Cox, or Castletown House, is a Georgian Palladian mansion and demesne located close to the town of Piltown and Carrick on Suir, in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
The house is often referred to as Castletown Cox to distinguish it from the larger Castletown House in County Kildare, Cox being a reference to Archbishop Michael Cox who built the house.
