Sōma Nakamura Castle (相馬中村城, Sōma Nakamura-jō) was a Japanese castle that formed the administrative center of Sōma Domain, a feudal domain of the Sōma clan under the Tokugawa shogunate, located in what is now the city of Sōma in northern Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The castle was also called "Nakamura Castle" or "Mutsu-Nakamura Castle". The castle's contemporary nickname was Baryū Castle (馬陵 城) from a place name mentioned in the Chinese Spring and Autumn Annals.
