The Breakers Point Naval Guns are a historic World War II-era defensive fortification on the island of Tutuila in American Samoa. It consists of two {{convert|6|in|adj=on}} Mark 8 Model 2 naval guns, mounted on circular concrete platforms about {{convert|200|ft|adj=on}} above sea level at the end of Papatele Ridge, which flanks the east side of Pago Pago Harbor. The guns, manufactured in 1907, were emplaced in 1941 amid fears of a Japanese invasion of the island, and were left in situ (albeit disabled) after invasion fears subsided. They were brought to the site by an innovative railway system that used locally crafted rails fashioned out of ifil wood when steel rails were not available.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=99001231}}|title=NRHP nomination for Breakers Point Naval Guns|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2015-05-28}} The guns are located on private family-owned land, but may be hiked to with permission.

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
