Askerton Castle is a medieval fortified manor house in Cumbria, England.

[1] Originally the castle was an unfortified manor, but in the late-15th century Thomas Lord Dacre, the second Baron, built two crenellated towers on either end of the hall range, probably with the aim of increasing the living space in the property rather than simply for reasons of defence.

[2] A third tower may have been built on the north-west corner of the property, this time for defensive purposes, but has since been lost.

[4] Askerton Castle is a Grade I listed building.
