Leigh continued their march up the Super League table with a fifth victory in six games as Adam Cook's gift try 14 minutes from time sank Castleford.
The Tigers were pressing hard having fought back to within four points through a second-half try from George Lawler.
But a fumble from Daejarn Asi allowed Cook, who also kicked four goals, a free run in from 40 metres out to put the game out of reach.
Castleford were on the wrong end of a couple of key decisions from referee Liam Moore but ultimately only had themselves to blame after seeing their hopes of a third successive win go up in smoke.
