Madliena Fougasse (malt. Fugass tal-Madliena) – fugas sąsiadujący z wieżą Madliena położony na południowy zachód od Pembroke. Budowane w XVIII wieku na Malcie fugasy, były wymyślone i zbudowane przez inżynierów zakonu maltańskiego. W litej skale, pod kątem około 45 stopni, były wycięte lejowate tunele o głębokości 2-3 metrów. Na ich spodzie składano ładunek prochu, w który był wkładany długi lont, wyprowadzony na powierzchnię. Następnie lej fugasa był wypełniany kamieniami. Fugasy miały służyć jako „działa”, które miały być użyte w przypadku inwazji wrogów na wyspę. Pierwszą próbę ogniową przeprowadzono 28 września 1740 roku pod nadzorem wojskowego inżyniera zakonu Maradona. Zbudowano około 60 tego typu obiektów.
