Matarbari Port is a under-construction sea-port on the shores of Bay of Bengal, located at Matarbari area of Chittagong division, Bangladesh. Construction of the port began in the late 2010s with the construction of a Captic Jetty for the Matarbari Power Plant, and later the Government of Bangladesh undertook a project to build a full-fledged commercial port. After construction, it will be Bangladesh's first deep-sea port. It is estimated that the cost for the construction of the port in the first phase will be ৳177.77 billions to ৳200.00 billions including the approach road.

The port consists of an artificial harbour, and its navigable channel is surrounded by Breakwaters. The harbour has a depth of 16 m (52 ft) and able to accommodate panamax and capesize ships. Cargo will be handled through container berths and multi-purpose cargo berths at the harbour. the port has a navigable channel about 14.3 km (8.9 mi) long and 350 m (1,150 ft) wide with a depth of 16 m (52 ft), which is the deepest among ports in Bangladesh. The port's draft ranges from about 14.4 m (47 ft) to a maximum of 18 m (59 ft) with tidal support, which will allow entry for carrying more than 8,000 TEUs or 100,000 deadweight tons container ships.
