}}Castle Balfour Demesne is a townland of 201 acres in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the civil parish of Aghalurcher and the historic barony of Magherastephana.[1][2] It contains part of the small town of Lisnaskea, with the remainder in the townland of Lisoneill.[3]

The townland contains the 17th-century remains of Castle Balfour, just off the main street in Lisnaskea, built around 1618 by James, Lord Balfour of Glenawley.[4] The castle was altered in 1652 and damaged in 1689, but remained inhabited into the 19th century. It was restored and conserved in the 1960s and 1990s.[5]

There was also evidence of a very much earlier ringfort (with radiocarbon dates of 359-428 AD) in the townland [6] suggesting the area was inhabited from a very early date.

The listed Church of Ireland Holy Trinity Church is also situated in the townland.
