Fort Fremont was a military fortification on Saint Helena Island, South Carolina. Fort Fremont was built by the Corps of Engineers in 1899. In 1900, the Coast Artillery took over the Fort. It is one of only two existing Spanish–American War fortifications with the character from that period.

The fort complex covered about 170 acres of land, and had numerous buildings, including a guard house, an Administration building, barracks, hospital, stable, bakery, commissary, mess hall, post exchange, lavatory, and water tower. Only the 10 inch battery, the rapid-fire battery and the brick hospital are still standing. All the other buildings were made of wood and were destroyed before 1989. Today the Fort is designated a Historical Preserve
