The Port of Szczecin-Świnoujście (in Polish generally Port Szczecin-Świnoujście pronounced as /pl/) is a Polish seaport complex in cities of Szczecin and Świnoujście, within northwestern part of West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.

The complex was created in 1977 by a merger of two ports, namely Port of Szczecin and Port of Świnoujście.

It serves containers, liquid and dry bulk, gas, RoRo cargo and project shipments and holds an important ferry terminal, connecting Scandinavia with the southern coast of the Baltic Sea.

In 2023, cargo traffic in the seaport equaled tons, making it the 6th largest port complex of the Baltic Sea.[6]
