Oskar-Fredriksborg Fortress is a historic fortification on eastern Rindö in the Stockholm archipelago in the municipality of Vaxholm. The fortress was built in the years 1870 to 1877 and takes its name from the place Oskar-Fredriksborg, which lies close by. Since 2002 the fortress has been designated a state architectural monument (byggnadsminne) by the state property authority Statens fastighetsverk. East of the fortress, across the Oxdjupet, lies Fredriksborg Fortress. That one dates from 1735.
