Cannon Branch Fort is a Civil War fortification in Manassas, Virginia, built as part of the wartime defenses for nearby railroad lines and also recognized as an archaeological site. Although the exact date and circumstances of its construction are unknown, it is generally believed to have been built by Union Army forces in 1863 or 1864. Its significance later earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and the site is now preserved as a city park.
