Château-Garnier () is a commune in the Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.
The name Garnier possibly derives from Garrison, (D'Oc), (Garrison in English). There was probably a Roman garrison on the site, succeeded by a Chateau. Evidence of the building stones of the Chateau are still noticeable throughout the village. The Chateau Monchandy just upstream on the Clain, and visible from the village is unique architecturally as are many of the houses found within the commune.
