Fort Wellington is a village located in the Mahaica-Berbice region of Guyana, serving as its regional capital.

It is located on the west coast of Berbice and about 54 miles from Georgetown. Public services include Fort Wellington Hospital, a primary school, a secondary school, a police station, a magistrate's court, a National Insurance Scheme office, a Guyana Elections Commission Office and a post office.

Government administration and agriculture are major economic activities of the town. In 2017, two students of University of Guyana performed a feasibility study for growing onions in Guyana in conjunction with a Canadian agricultural organization.

The town has few supermarkets and grocery stores so villagers travel to Bushlot some distance away for supplies.
