    Fortification is a small rural community in Southland, New Zealand. It is located on the banks of the Mataura River, 12 kilometers southeast of Wyndham and 150 kilometers southwest of Invercargill. The area was first settled by Europeans in the 1860s, and the first fortification was built in 1868 to protect the settlers from Native American attacks.
