Fort Stevens may refer to one of two decommissioned American military forts:
- Fort Stevens (Oregon), a fort in Oregon that guarded the mouth of the Columbia River
- Fort Stevens (Washington, D.C.), a fort in Washington, D.C. that defended the city during the Civil War
Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or stevens:
“Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.”

“Be thou that wintry sound
As of the great wind howling,
By which sorrow is released,
Dismissed, absolved
In a starry placating.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
