Castelculier (French pronunciation: [kastɛlkylje]; Languedocien: Castelculhèr) is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in south-western France.
The name of the village comes from the medieval fortress known as Chasteau Cullier. This castle was destroyed by the duke of Épernon in 1633 by order of Louis XIII, king of France.
The Séoune forms most of the commune's south-eastern border.
