The Port of Szczecin-Świnoujście (in Polish generally Port Szczecin-Świnoujście [ˈpɔrt ʂt͡ʂɛt͡ɕin-ɕfinɔˈujɕt͡ɕɛ]) 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.[2]

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.[3]

In 2023, cargo traffic in the seaport equaled 35,322,700 tons,[4] making it the 6th largest port complex of the Baltic Sea.[6]
