For other uses, see Fort Charlotte.

Fort Charlotte is a British-colonial era fort built on a hill overlooking the harbor of Nassau, the capital and largest city of the Bahamas. The fort sits a short walk west of downtown Nassau and the cruise ship terminal. The fort was constructed in the late 18th century by British colonial governor Lord Dunmore after the end of the American Revolutionary war. The fort has never been used in battle.^[1] It is one of several English forts that are still standing in Nassau. These forts were to be used as battle stations, to attack the invading Spaniards.
