Gananoque Blockhouse was a fortification located near present-day Gananoque, Ontario. Within a month of the Raid on Gananoque construction of a blockhouse was started, with completion in 1813. It had an octagonal log parapet containing five guns. The blockhouse was abandoned after the War of 1812 and given to a private landowner.
The blockhouse was quickly repaired in the 1837–38 Patriot War when there were fears American militia forces were planning to attack. The Gananoque Blockhouse stood until 1852.
