Bouvigne Castle is a castle outside the Ginneken district in the Dutch province of North Brabant, near the Mastbos south of Breda. Behind it lies the Markdal.

It has been owned by the Brabantse Delta Water Board since 1972. After restoration between 1975 and 1977, it was reopened by Prince Claus on September 13, 1977.

Bouvigne is a grand mansion and was never used as a hunting lodge. The hunting grounds of the House of Orange were north of the Prinsenhof ( Breda Castle ) and near the Liesbos. The Mastbos is a landscaped wood production forest. It is not clear what Philip-Willem used the castle for, he lived on the Prinsenhof. He may have made it available as a steward's residence.
