Castella is a locality in Victoria, Australia. It lies to the east of Kinglake at the intersection of the Melba Highway and the Healesville Kinglake Road.[3]

The Castella Quarries produces sandstone and crushed rock.[4] One of the quarries was used to dump the drillings from a tunnel under the Toolangi State Forest.[5] This tunnel is part of the Sugarloaf Pipeline, carrying freshwater to Melbourne from the Goulburn River.
