Klaipėda Castle, also known as Memelburg or Memel Castle, is an archeological site and museum housed in a castle built by the Teutonic Knights in Klaipėda, Lithuania, near the Baltic Sea. The Teutons called the castle Memelburg or Memel, and Klaipėda was generally known as Memel until 1923, when Lithuanian military forces took over the city.

The Battle of Memel was fought between the Samogitians and the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights in 1323. According to the chronicle of Peter of Dusburg, the Samogitians burned the city, but failed to take the Memel Castle. They also burned another three neighboring castles probably Žardė (now the southern outskirts of Klaipėda), Poyso (on the left bank of upstream Dangė River, east of Klaipėda), and Eketė (at the confluence of Dangė and Eketė Rivers).
