O Forte de Santa Catarina, também referido como Castelo de Santa Catarina e Castelo de Santo António, localiza-se na freguesia de Lajes do Pico, concelho de mesmo nome, na ilha do Pico, nos Açores.

Em posição dominante sobre este trecho do litoral, constituiu-se em uma fortificação destinada à defesa deste ancoradouro contra os ataques de piratas e corsários, outrora frequentes nesta região do oceano Atlântico.

Constitui-se no único exemplar de arquitetura militar na ilha que subsistiu até aos nossos dias .
