Katsuyama Date (勝山館, Katsuyama-Date) is the remains of a castle or fortified residence in Hiyama, Hokkaido, Japan.[1][2] It is believed the castle was built by Takeda Nobuhiro in the 15th century.[3]

The castle is now only ruins, just some remnants of moats and earthen walls. Its ruins have been protected as a National Historic Site, since 1977.[4] Katsuyama Date was listed as one of the Continued 100 Fine Castles of Japan in 2017.[5]

Guidance facility of the castle is on site.[6]
