    Fort Norfolk is a historic British military site located in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada. It was established around 1814 AD during the War of 1812 to defend the Lake Erie shoreline and nearby settlements from potential American attacks. Though it was a relatively small fortification, it played a role in regional defense and the broader network of British military posts in Canada.
