Castel Lagopesole is a frazione of the comune of Avigliano, in Basilicata, southern Italy. It has a population of 652.
It is home to a large castel, built by the Saracens. Later it was expanded by the Normans and was a hunter mansion for Frederick II of Hohenstaufen and a summer residence for the Angevine kings of Naples.
During the brigand age of southern Italy, the castle was captured by Carmine Crocco (1861) and used as his base.
