This is a list of counts of Castile.The County of Castile had its origin in a fortified march on the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Asturias.

In the later 10th-century, while nominally in vassalage to the Kingdom of León, the counts grew in autonomy and played a significant role in Iberian politics.
