Carlton Towers in the civil parish of Carlton, 5 miles south-east of Selby, North Yorkshire, England, is a Grade I listed country house, in the Gothic Revival style, and is surrounded by a 250-acre park.

The house was re-built to its present form in 1873–1875 by Henry Stapleton, 9th Baron Beaumont, whose father Miles Stapleton, 8th Baron Beaumont had in 1840 inherited the title Baron Beaumont, in abeyance since 1507. His architect was Edward Welby Pugin, who "encased and incorporated" the earlier manor house dating from 1614 into a larger structure. He sold much of the estate to finance the building work.
