The Howlett Line was a critical Confederate earthworks dug during the Bermuda Hundred Campaign of the United States Civil War in May 1864. Specifically, the line stretched across the Bermuda Hundred peninsula from the James River to the Appomattox River. It was named for the Dr. Howlett's House that overlooked the James River at the north end of the line. The Howlett Line became famous as the "Cork in the Bottle" by keeping the 30,000-man strong General Butler's Army of the James at bay.

La linea attraversava la penisola di dal fiume James fino all'. La linea - così chiamata per la Howlett House, che sorgeva all'estremità settentrionale della stessa - venne costruita a seguito della battaglia di Ware Bottom Church (20 maggio 1864) e aveva lo scopo di contenere l'avanzata dell'Armata del James del generale nordista Benjamin Butler permettendo al generale confederato Robert Edward Lee di evacuare le sue posizioni.
