Fort Kyk-Over-Al was a Dutch fort in the colony of Essequibo in what is now Guyana. It was constructed in 1616 on an islet in the mouth of the Mazaruni River. It once served as the centre for the Dutch administration of the county but now only ruins are left. The name Kyk-Over-Al derives from the Dutch for See over all a reference to the commanding view of the river from the fort.
