Sundås battery (Norwegian: Sundås batteri) is a defunct coastal artillery site located at Sundåsen in Sandefjord Municipality (historically part of Stokke Municipality) in Vestfold county, Norway. The fortifications were constructed in 1899 during turbulent times with Sweden during the Union between Sweden and Norway.
