Benteng Nassau adalah benteng Belanda pertama yang dibangun di Pulau Banda (atau Bandaneira), sebuah pulau utama di Kepulauan Banda, bagian dari Provinsi Maluku. Pembangunannya selesai pada 1609. Benteng ini dibangun dengan tujuan untuk mengontrol perdagangan pala, yang pada saat itu hanya tumbuh di Kepulauan Banda. Saat ini benteng tersebut sementara dalam proses pemugaran.
