Derrywoone castle is a post-medieval fortified house located near Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The structure represents the type of defensive domestic architecture constructed during the early modern period, when landowners in Ulster sought to protect their residences and holdings against localised threats. As a fortified house rather than a substantial castle, it exemplifies the smaller-scale military architecture characteristic of rural plantation-era settlements in the seventeenth century. The site is recorded in the Northern Ireland Monuments and Buildings Record under the designation HED NI NISMR MonID 14289.
