Castell ar ymyl tref Rhuddlan yn Sir Ddinbych yw Castell Rhuddlan. Castell Cymreig oedd Castell Rhuddlan yn wreiddiol ond fe wnaeth y Normaniaid ei adnewyddu a'i atgyweirio a daeth i feddiant coron Lloegr ar ôl hynny.
Saif y castell wrth ryd strategol ar Afon Clwyd. Mae'n bosibl mai yma neu gerllaw yr ymladdwyd Brwydr Morfa Rhuddlan yn 795. Cododd y brenin grymus Gruffudd ap Llywelyn gastell yma yn 1063 a'i wneud yn sedd frenhinol. Ond llosgwyd y castell hwnnw gan y Saeson pan anfonodd Harold, brenin Lloegr, fyddin i ogledd Cymru.
Yn 1073 codwyd castell mwnt a beili yno gan y Normaniaid ar orchymyn Gwilym Gwncwerwr. Tyfodd bwrdeistref fechan yng nghysgod y castell.
Yn 1277 codwyd castell cadarn ar y safle gan Edward I o Loegr, a'i defnyddiodd fel ei brif ganolfan yn y gogledd yn ei ymosodiad ar Wynedd i geisio dymchwel Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. Yno yn 1284, ar ôl gorchfygu Llywelyn, cyhoeddodd Edward I Statud Rhuddlan, a fyddai'n gweddnewid gweinyddiaeth Cymru.
Bu gwarchae ar y castell gan Cymry'r Gogledd dan arweiniad Madog ap Llywelyn yng ngwrthryfel Cymreig 1294. Dros ganrif yn ddiweddarach ymsododd Owain Glyndŵr arno; ni chipiwyd y castell ond llosgwyd y dref gaerog o'i gwmpas.
Rhuddlan Castle (Welsh: Castell Rhuddlan) is a castle located in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, Wales. It was erected by Edward I in 1277 following the First Welsh War
Rhuddlan was planned as a concentric castle. It has a unique 'diamond' in layout as the gatehouses are positioned at the corners of the square baileys instead of along the sides like at Flint, Harlech or Beaumaris.
The inner ward has defensive walls with twin-tower gatehouses. The outer ward is surrounded by a curtain wall that has small towers and turrets. The castle also had a dry moat to improve defence on its landward side. Within the inner ward there was a great hall, kitchens, private apartments and a chapel. The outer bailey had a granary, stables and a smithy.
Much of the work was overseen by master mason James of St George. Rhuddlan, which was not completed until 1282, was built concurrently with Flint Castle.
Rhuddlan is next to the River Clwyd. During the fortification's lengthy construction, the river course was straightened and dredged to allow ships to sail inland along a man-made channel. Its purpose was to allow provisions and troops to reach the castle even if hostile forces or a siege prevented overland travel.
