Sucha Beskidzka Castle or Sucha Castle (Polish: Zamek w Suchej Beskidzkiej or Zamek Suski) is a Renaissance castle located in Sucha Beskidzka, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
The original manor house in Sucha Beskidzka was built between 1554 and 1558. At the start of the 17th century, it was converted into a castle. Partially modeled after the Wawel Castle, it earned the nickname "Little Wawel". Throughout its history, it was owned by the noble and aristocratic families of Suski, Komorowski, Wielopolski, Branicki, and Tarnowski. A valuable library was located inside the castle. Since 2016, it belongs to the local government and houses several institutions.
