Castlevania 64 is an action-adventure game developed by Konami for the Nintendo 64 and released in 1999. It was the first attempt to bring the Castlevania series into 3D.

Konami kept close to the formula of the 2D games, and it remains largely an action-adventure platformer. Players can choose between two characters, Reinhardt Schneider and Carrie Fernandez, to play through the game.

The game also makes use of a day/night cycle driven by an in-game clock, with some areas and events depending on the time of day.

The game received mixed reviews: its move into 3D, graphics and audio were praised, while its camera and controls drew criticism.
