Fort Sandoské, French military fort in Marblehead Peninsula, Ohio, United States.
The fort stood on the northern side of Sandusky Bay, near a traditional portage point connecting the bay waters to Lake Erie.
French soldiers from Fort Detroit constructed Fort Sandoské in 1750 after expelling English traders who operated a trading post at the location since 1745.
The name Sandoské derives from Wyandot language terms referring to water, reflecting the Native American presence in the region.
The fort served as a supply and communication point between Fort Niagara and Fort Detroit until its abandonment in 1754.
Lieutenant Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry documented the fort's layout in his campaign journal, now preserved at Laval University in Quebec.
