Château de l'Herm is a castle in the commune of Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac in the Dordogne department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. Built between 1500 and 1520 in the Forêt Barade under Jean de Calvimont, a Bordeaux parliament member and ambassador of Francis I to Spain, it was abandoned after the family left in 1605. Its moats remain visible, and it is open to visitors. Eugène Le Roy used it as the setting for his 1899 novel Jacquou le Croquant, and it has been listed as a monument historique since 1927.
