Port of Astoria is a public port authority that manages a mix of marine terminals, two marinas with a boatyard, industrial and commercial properties, and the Astoria/Warrenton Regional Airport. It is based in Clatsop County in the extreme northwest corner of Oregon, at the confluence of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean, with facilities concentrated in the cities of Astoria and Warrenton. The port serves a diverse range of users, including commercial and recreational boaters, cargo vessels, fish processing operations, cruise ships, and research vessels, supported by rail access to Tongue Point via the Portland & Western Railroad and road connections to the region.

Established in 1910, Port of Astoria operates under Oregon law with an elected board of Commissioners setting policy and an Executive Director overseeing management. Its stated mission is to foster economic growth and prosperity in a safe and environmentally responsible manner while generating well-paying jobs and prudent asset management. In 2021, the port collaborated with Warrenton and Clatsop County on planning to adjust tide gates to lower water levels at the Warrenton airport, illustrating its engagement in regional infrastructure issues.
