Vézins-de-Lévézou (French pronunciation: [vezɛ̃ levezu]; Languedocien: Vesinh) is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France.

The Château de Vézins is a historical castle. The first fortress was built in 1120 by Vésian de Vézins to command the Lévézou 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.
