Lapšina Castle (Croatian: Dvorac Lapšina) is a former early modern fortified structure in the village of Lapšina, municipality of Sveti Martin na Muri, Međimurje County, Croatia. Built on the top of a hill in the 16th century, it was originally the residence of the members of the Mlakovečki noble family, who had some smaller estates in Međimurje. It changed owners several times during centuries, later became poorly maintained, so that in the first decades of the 20th century only ruins remained of it.
