Jeduthan Baldwin (January 13, 1732 – June 4, 1788) was an American military engineer and officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. A veteran of the French and Indian War, he is best remembered for his engineering work on fortifications at the Siege of Boston, Fort Ticonderoga, Mount Independence, and West Point, as well as for his detailed wartime journal, published in 1906. In 1906 the U.S. War Department honored his service by naming Fort Baldwin in Maine after him.
