Riffa Fort ({{lang-ar|قلعة الرفاع|Qal'at ar-Rifa'}}) is a fort in Riffa, Bahrain. It was built during the reign of Sheikh Salman bin Ahmed Al Fateh Al Khalifa in 1812, while another source claims that it was built during the rule of the Persian Safavid Empire over Bahrain during the 17th century.{{Citation needed|date=October 2012}} The fort was converted into a residence in the 19th century for Sheikh Salman bin Ahmed Al Fateh. Riffa Fort is now named Sheikh Salman bin Ahmed Fort and offers a splendid view across the Hunanaiya valley. With Riffa being home to the seat of government until 1869, this fort is of considerable historic significance.

Sheikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa, who ruled Bahrain from 1869 to 1932, was born in the fort. His house in Muharraq provides a glimpse of royal life in the 19th century, complete with architecture and wall carvings belonging to that era. It is also one of the best places to feel the effects of the wind tower. {{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}
