Yecla la Vieja es un castro de origen vetón situado en el municipio español de Yecla de Yeltes, en la provincia de Salamanca, Castilla y León.

Está situado al sur del pueblo, en un promontorio sobre el arroyo Varlaña.

Es un yacimiento arqueológico de unas 5 hectáreas de superficie, delimitado por las gruesas y bien conservadas murallas y otras estructuras defensivas. Su origen se remonta al siglo 5 antes de nuestra era, cuando los vetones poblaban la comarca. También se usó en época romana, y posteriormente, hasta la Alta Edad Media. Tras su abandono, en época de los Reyes Católicos se construyó en el recinto la ermita de la Virgen del Castillo, aún en pie y en uso.
