The St. Andrews Blockhouse is a blockhouse fortification built in Saint Andrews, New Brunswick during the War of 1812. Built by nearby residents between 1812 and 1813, it was one of three blockhouses built by locals to protect the area from American raids. Standing by the St. Andrews waterfront, the St. Andrews Blockhouse is Canada's last surviving blockhouse from the war, and is a registered National Historic Site of Canada.
