Stanley Fort (Chinese: 赤柱炮台) is both an area and a fort on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong, situated at the southern end of Stanley Peninsula, near the town of Stanley (赤柱, Chek Chue). It lies just south of the peak of Che Pau Teng and includes the headland of Wong Ma Kok. The area is mainly occupied by Chek Chue Barracks and the Hong Kong Earth Station. In 2000, the area was redesignated as a military zone, with the Stanley Fort Gate bus terminus located just outside the barracks entrance.
