The Fort Constantin (Fort Grand Duke Constantine, Fort Konstantin) ({{langx|ru|Форт «Константин», (Форт «Великий Князь Константин» }}) was a coastal artillery battery that covered southern waters of the fortified city of Kronstadt, Russia. The city is located on the Kotlin Island, Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea. Currently the fort has no military use, the structures are in disarray, and the transport and tourism company {{ill|Third Park|ru|Третий парк}} tries to develop the territory as a tourist destination.
