Mr Castro smiled as the US leader shook his hand on the way to the podium to pay tribute to the late South African president, a global symbol of peace.
It was an unprecedented gesture between the leaders of two nations that have been at loggerheads for more than half a century.
It was Mr Obama who offered the handshake in a new sign of his willingness to reach out to US enemies, a US official told the AFP news agency.
The US and Cuba have recently taken small steps toward rapprochement, raising hopes the two nations could be on the verge of a breakthrough in relations.
The ceremony in memory of Mr Mandela, who died on Thursday at age 95, gathered heads of state from around the world.
