Vézins-de-Lévézou is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France.
The Château de Vezins is a historical castle. The first fortress was built in 1120 by Vesian de Vezins to command the Lévezou district. Following a disastrous fire in 1642, the only remains of this original castle are the vaulted rooms of the ground floor. The castle was redeveloped in the Renaissance style.
