Lego Fortnite is a free-to-play survival sandbox game developed and published by Epic Games, as a separate 'experience' within the game Fortnite. It was released on December 7, 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Windows, and Android.

Lego Fortnite was added to the base Fortnite game as part of an addition of three additional game-modes for the release of Fortnite Battle Royale's Chapter 5 in December 2023. It was followed by Rocket Racing a day later on December 8 and Fortnite Festival on December 9.

The game is an open world survival game in the style of Minecraft. Players control a minifigure that resembles their Battle Royale Skin, gathering resources to craft tools and weapons and build structures. The game differs from Minecraft with its focus on the creation of village settlements where NPC characters from Battle Royale and the larger Fortnite lore can live and perform jobs for the player. The game has also a co-op element, and other players can also have a home in these villages. As you reach various goals, the village can level up, unlocking new recipes for structures and furnishings.

Players can also play the game in a 'creative mode', wherein all recipes and building components are unlocked, with unlimited resources and flight.

Lego Fortnite is integrated into the larger quests and monetisation features of Fortnite. A significant number of pre-existing Battle Royale skins have Lego minifigure styles, with more intended to be added. As in Battle Royale, these skins can be purchased using the premium in-game currency 'V-Bucks'.
