Port Klang (Malay: Pelabuhan Klang) is the one of the main ports of Malaysia, located in the district of Klang in the state of Selangor. It serves the Klang Valley, including the federal capital Kuala Lumpur and federal administrative capital Putrajaya.

Port Klang was originally known as Port Swettenham when it was founded under British colonial rule in 1893, after the then British Resident High Commissioner for the Malay State, Sir Frank Swettenham. Official opening of the port was on September 15, 1901, which developed as a new port after a study found that its coastal area had a harbor with deep anchorage, free from dangers and very suitable for wharves. Its development was accelerated further with the extension of a railway line from Kuala Lumpur to the new port.

The Port Klang Authority, established 1 July 1963, administers the three ports in the Port Klang area: Northport, Southpoint and West Port. Prior to that the only existing port, the South Port, was administered by the Malayan Railway Administration.

Currently, both West Port and Northport have been privatized and managed as separate entities. West Port is managed by Kelang Multi Terminal (KMT), and North Port by Northport (Malaysia) Bhd (NMB). The current Northport entity is actually a merger from two companies, Kelang Container Terminal (KCT) and Kelang Port Management (KPM). Northport (Malaysia) Bhd currently operates South Port, which was rebranded Southpoint, and acquired Northport Distripark Sdn Bhd (NDSB) as part of its logistics division.

Most of Port Klang town comes under the Parliamentary Constituency of Klang, currently represented by YB Datin Dr. Paduka Tan Yee Kew (BN - MCA).

Dato' Zakaria Zainal Md. Deros (BN - UMNO) was elected state assemblyman for Pelabuhan Klang (N46) in the 2004 election. He took over from Dato' Teh Chang Ying (BN - MCA) who won the seat in the 1999 election.

Port Klang falls under the jurisdiction of Klang Municipal Council (Malay: Majlis Perbandaran Klang).

Port Klang is served by KTM Komuter stations (including the Port Klang Komuter station) which link it to Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and other parts of the Klang Valley. A ferry terminal to Pulau Ketam and an International terminal to Tanjung Balai and Dumai in Indonesia are also located in the area.
