The Fort Alice (Malay: Kubu Alice) is a fort in Sri Aman, Sarawak, Malaysia.
The fort was named after Margaret Alice Lili de Windt, wife of Charles Brooke.

In June 2013, restoration works began on the fort and was completed on 18 April 2015 with a cost of MYR5 million. It was then reopened as the Sri Aman Heritage Museum.
