Silesian Ostrava Castle (Czech: Slezskoostravský hrad) is a Gothic castle located in Slezská Ostrava, in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It was built in 1290 by Duke Mieszko I of Cieszyn, on the border between the Duchy of Cieszyn and Moravia, near the confluence of the Lučina and Ostravice rivers.^[1]

In 1534, the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. It burned down in 1872 and was subsequently rebuilt.^{[2][better source needed]} In 2004, it was repaired after many years of dilapidation, caused by coal mining under the castle.^{[citation needed]}

Until 2012, the castle hosted the Colours of Ostrava festival.
