Description

Fort Knokke var et fort i den belgiske provins Vestflandern. Det lå ved udmundingen af Ieperlee i IJzer, nord for Reninge og Merkem, tæt på grænsen til Nieuwkapelle.

Da de flamske byer Veurne og Ieper efter erobringen af Alexander Farnese kom i spanske hænder ved slutningen af det 16. århundrede, blev der langs IJzer og Ieperlee anlagt en række forter som forsvar mod plyndringer fra reformatorer fra byen Oostende. Nord for samløbet af Ieperlee og IJzer blev der opført et lille spærringsfort. Da Oostende i 1604 alligevel blev erobret, mistede disse forter deres funktion. I midten af det 17. århundrede blev der under de spansk-franske krige i syd for samløbet opført et nyt fort af spanierne.
