Bani Qahtan castle (Arabic: قلعة بني قحطان) is found in the Syrian Coastal Mountains, about 40 km from Latakia city.

It is administratively part of the Ayn al-Sharqiyah subdistrict of the Jableh District of Latakia Governorate.

[1] The castle which was known as Bikisrail,[2] was controlled by Byzantine doux of Antioch, Niketas of Mistheia, in 1032.

The castle is totally damaged and not much remained from it, as its ruins are dated back to the 12th century.

The castle is situated on a high mountain, accessible only from the south through a narrow piece of land.
