Fort Victoria was a single tier battery with defensible barracks west of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, England, built in the 1850s, later used as a submarine mining centre and training area for military purposes. The larger barrack blocks were demolished in 1969, but the sea-facing casemates were not, and form the current standing structure.
