Breakwater Battery, was a coastal defence battery at Port Kembla, Australia during World War II.

Constructed in 1939 to provide protection for Port Kembla from enemy shipping and submarines. Two 6 inch gun emplacements with related under ground facilities were constructed near the southern breakwater at Port Kembla.

The battery and observation post were key structures of the command centre for Fortress Kembla during World War II.
