O Forte de São Bento da Ribeira Brava localiza-se na vila e freguesia da Ribeira Brava, concelho do mesmo nome, na ilha da Madeira, Região Autónoma da Madeira.

A defesa da Ilha foi sempre uma das preocupações constantes, tanto por parte dos reis, como dos donatários da ilha. Assim, era necessária a defesa da costa perante os inimigos. A sua construção foi determinada pelo governador Duarte Sodré Pereira para defesa daquele ancoradouro.Por vezes alguns piratas atacavam a costa, vivendo as populações ribeirinhas em constante sobressalto.
