Coney's Castle is an Iron Age hill fort in Dorset, England. The name Coney is from the Old English for rabbit (Latin cuniculus), suggesting medieval use as a domestic warren, as at nearby Pilsdon Pen.

The fort is on a narrow north-south ridge reaching a height of 210 m,

with linear ramparts across the ridge, steep natural slopes to the west,

and a high artificial rampart with ditch to the east.

A small lane runs along the ridge, bisecting the fort.

The lane is also part of the Wessex Ridgeway long distance trail.

There is a convenient car park next to the north rampart.

Lambert's Castle is about 1.5 km to the north.
