Castlebaldwin (Irish: Béal Átha na gCarraigíní) is a village in County Sligo, Ireland.

The castle in Castlebaldwin is a 17th century house (Duchas reference SL034-185--- Grid reference G:75686:14470) rather than a medieval castle. The walls of the castle are made from stones taken from a nunery that was near the village. To hold the stones together blood from animals was mixed to sand to form mortar to help the stones stick. Castlebaldwin is situated beside Carrowkeel Passage Tombs which are some of the oldest tombs in Europe.
