Portsoy Harbour (also known as Portsoy's Old Harbour) is a harbour in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Situated immediately to the north of Portsoy's village centre and a few yards west of Links Bay, the harbour was established in 1692. It is now a Category A listed structure.
The harbour is accessed from the village centre by either High Street or Low Street, or from Links Bay via Shore Street. North High Street enters the harbour at Shorehead; Low Street at Shore Street. Both run along the southern edge of the harbour. Shore Street and Shorehead merge at Low Street.
A more modern, smaller harbour is located in the northeastern corner of the promontory. It is known as Portsoy New Harbour.
