Liinmaa Castle seen from the outside in early April.

Liinmaa Castle (Finnish: Liinmaan linna, Swedish: Vreghdenborg) was a medieval castle in Eurajoki in the province of Satakunta in Finland. The castle was made of wood and bricks, and only some earth walls remain today. According to excavations in the 1970s and 2004–2005, it was in usage during the 14th and 15th centuries. The site is lightly looked-after.

The castle was first mentioned in 1397 in a letter by Knut Bosson (Grip).
