Sneaton Castle is a historic building on Castle Road in Whitby, a town in North Yorkshire, England.
James Wilson purchased Sneaton Manor in 1820, and rebuilt it as a castellated house. In 1914, it was converted into the headquarters of the new Order of the Holy Paraclete, and a girls' boarding school. The school closed in 1997, and the order thereafter used the space as a conference and retreat centre. A new priory was built in the grounds in 2018, and the house was then converted into a hotel. The building has been Grade II listed since 1954.
The house is built of stone with flat roofs. The centre section has two storeys and five bays, and an embattled parapet stepped up in the centre over a coat of arms. In the centre is an enclosed embattled porch containing a doorway with a four-centred arch. The windows are sashes. The centre section is flanked by taller two-storey embattled towers containing sash windows and cross loops. The battlements are machicolated, and on the corners are embattled bartisans.
