The Mastuj Fort is a fortification in Mastuj city, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The fort is situated on a plateau at a confluence of the Yarkhun River and the Mastuj River near Shandur Pass.[1][2]

The fort is believed to have been built by the Katoor Dynasty around 1780, rebuilt in 1830 and rebuilt again in the 1920s.[3][4]
