nihongo|Karatsu Castle|唐津城|Karatsu-jō is a castle in the city of Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, Japan.

Terasawa Hirotaka, a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was stationed in Karatsu in 1595. In the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 he joined the Tokugawa forces and attacked Gifu Castle. He was rewarded with greater lands around Karatsu and built the castle from 1602 - 1608. The castle made use of some parts from Hideyoshi's Nagoya Castle which was dismantled after its fall.
