Port Quin (Cornish: Porthgwynn ) grid reference SW971805 is a small cove and hamlet between Port Isaac and Polzeath on the Atlantic coast in north Cornwall, England, UK.

The hamlet and the coastline is mainly owned by the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty; the Trust rents out several of the stone cottages as self-catering holiday accommodation.

The hamlet itself is situated at the end of a narrow rocky inlet in Port Quin Bay which extends from Kellan Head on the north-east side of the inlet to The Rumps.

The South West Coast Path closely follows the coastline of the inlet. Port Quin is popular with walkers and there is a small car park on the lane which leads from Port Quin to the village of Trelights.

On the south-west side of the inlet is Doyden Point, on which is situated Doyden Castle, a castellated folly built about 1830 by Samuel Symons.

It is said that Port Quin was once a thriving fishing village on a par with Port Isaac. On one occasion there were terrible storms from which none of the fishermen of Port Quin returned alive. The families that were left all moved from Port Quin to Port Isaac, leaving the place deserted.
