Fukushima Castle (福島城, Fukushima-jō) was a Japanese castle that formed the administrative center of Fukushima Domain, a feudal domain of the Itakura clan, located in the center of what is now the city of Fukushima in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Nothing remains of the castle today, and the site is occupied by the Fukushima Prefectural Office and other public buildings.
