Merrill's Wharf is a historic wharf in Portland, Maine, on the edge of the Fore River. It stands across Commercial Street from Cross Street and, on the waterfront side, between Union Wharf (to the north) and Portland Fish Pier (to the south). It was formerly known as Dana's Wharf.
Today, the wharf is home to businesses (including Pierce Atwood), which occupy a former brick warehouse known as the Twitchell–Chaplin Grocery Company Building.

- Merrill's Wharf as it appeared at an unknown point in the past that must have been prior to at least 1960, at which point the windows were blocked to convert the building to cold storage.
