Fort Folly 1 is a Mi'kmaq Indian reserve located near Dorchester in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada.

It is the territory of the Fort Folly First Nation.

The population is the smallest Mi'kmaq community in the province, with a registered population of 105 individuals. Of these only 27 are living on the reserve, and 78 are living off of the reserve. The reserve is 406,000 square metres (100 acres) in size. It has year-round road access.

The reserve is located in the traditional territory of the people of Kwesawék Amlamkuk, which roughly translated from the Míkmaq language means "the delta where the multicoloured rivers meet". That description is based on the original location of the Fort Folly reserve at Beaumont on the Petitcodiac River.
