Fort Wheeling is the title of a series of comic-book adventures set in colonial North America by Italian cartoonist Hugo Pratt.

Patrick Fitzgerald, aristocrat, and Chris Kenton, Virginian, are young soldiers serving on the frontier of Great Britain's American colonies just prior to the American Revolution. During the French and Indian war they fall in love with the beautiful Mohena, a captive rescued from the Shawnee Indians. When the American Revolution begins, however, the two friends choose different sides.

The series, originally written in Argentina in the 1950s, has been collected into two albums by the Belgian publisher Casterman.
