Bhavnagar Port is a seaport in Saurashtra region of Gujarat state in Western India. Bhavnagar has had trade links with Southeast Asia, Africa, Arabia and ports of Red Sea since the early 18th century. The original port Bhavnagar Harbor located at 21°48′N 72°09′E / 21.800°N 72.150°E built by the state of Bhavnagar was a very important part of the commerce. It also hosted a light beacon since 1860.

A new port, 8 km south of the original port was built and made operational in 1950s due to heavy silting at the location of the old port. This port also had a lighthouse, which was damaged in the 2001 earthquake.
