Fort Sadras is a VOC fort on the Coromandel Coast of India. The fort was built at the beginning of the 18th century as a fortification of an earlier established trading lodge, also called a factory. In the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War parts of the fort were blown up by the British. The remains were restored at the beginning of the 1990s by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
