Fort Sherman, Military fort in Coeur d'Alene, US.

Fort Sherman was a U.S. Army post on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene, at the east bank of the Spokane River outflow. It began as a camp in 1878, became Fort Coeur d'Alene in 1879, and took Sherman's name in 1887. The site is now the campus of North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

A camp was established in 1878 on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene and the east bank of the Spokane River, after William T. Sherman recommended the site in 1877. It became Fort Coeur d'Alene in 1879, and the adjacent city of Coeur d'Alene grew alongside it. In 1887, three years after Sherman's retirement, the post was renamed Fort Sherman. It was left unoccupied during the Spanish–American War in 1898 and abandoned soon after.

The fort's name honors William T. Sherman, who inspected the site in 1877 and later visited; it was renamed for him in 1887, three years after his retirement. The grounds he saw are now the campus of North Idaho College, which occupies the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene.

The site lies on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene at the east bank of the Spokane River outflow, now the campus of North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene. The fort was abandoned shortly after the Spanish–American War of 1898, so visitors walk a college campus rather than a standing post. Plan around the college grounds when orienting yourself.

The fort was left unoccupied during the Spanish–American War of 1898 and abandoned soon after; its grounds became the campus of North Idaho College. A later Fort Sherman, unrelated to this site, operated in the Panama Canal Zone from 1911 to 1999.
