Roughfort Motte (J27048400) is a scheduled monument in County Antrim, by the village of Roughfort, which takes its name from the motte.

It is a mediæval mound and later was a site of assembly in the Irish Rebellion of 1798, for the United Irishmen under the command of Henry Joy McCracken before the Battle of Antrim on 7 June 1798.
