Fort Bragg is a town located in coastal Mendocino County, California. The population was 7,026 at the 2000 census. Fort Bragg is located on the Pacific Coast Highway, California Rte-1, the major north-south highway along the Pacific Coast. A US Army officer named it for his previous commanding officer, Braxton Bragg (1817–76) who was a career U.S. Army officer and later a general in the Confederate States Army. Thus, the town shares a name with Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and they are named for the same man.

The town is the western terminus of the California Western Railroad (otherwise known as the "Skunk Train"), running through the Coast Redwood forests to the city of Willits, 40 miles inland, and also home to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens.
