Sandal Castle is a ruined medieval castle in Sandal Magna, a suburb of the city of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England, overlooking the River Calder. It was the site of royal intrigue and the setting for a scene in one of William Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare's play Henry VI, Part 3 (Act 1, Scene 2) is set in Sandal Castle.
