Fort Amsterdam is a fort in Kormantin Central region Ghana. It was built by the English between 1638 and 1645 as Fort Cormantine or Fort Courmantyne and was captured by admiral Engel de Ruyter of the Dutch West India Company in 1665. It was subsequently made part of the Dutch Gold Coast and remained part of it until the fort was traded with the British in 1868.
