The Rocca Malvezzi-Campeggi, also known as the Rocca Sforzesca di Dozza, or just Rocca di Dozza, is a medieval castle in the town of Dozza, in the region of Emilia Romagna, Italy.

The general layout of present structure was likely built in the 13th century atop more ancient foundations. However, it was reconstructed many times through war.

The main outline we see in 2020 dates from the end of the 15th century, when Caterina Sforza, daughter of the Duke of Milan and wife of Girolamo Riario, commissioned refurbishment from the architect Giorgio Marchesi. Riario was the grandson of Pope Sixtus IV. Marchesi, with the help of some of the military engineers working for the Sforza, helped design the defensive towers, moat, and merlons.
