François-Paul Sainte de Wollant (20 September 1752, in Antwerp – 30 November 1818, in Saint Petersburg) was a Flemish engineer. He is best known for a number of fortifications in Imperial Russia which were built under his supervision, such as a now-lost 1794 battery on the site of the later Konstantin Battery in Sevastopol.[1] In Tiraspol, Transnistria, a park is named after him.
