Port of Vigo (Galician: Porto de Vigo, Spanish: Puerto de Vigo) is located in Vigo, Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain.

Vigo is the base for the big fishing companies which have prominent presence in countries such as Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique, Australia, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, Chile and Peru, among others. Fish is sent all over Spain and abroad to countries like Portugal, Italy, France and other more distant markets including Asia.

In Vigo, important international trade fairs are held, like Conxemar, an annual event dedicated to frozen fish products. "Navalia Shipbuilding Exhibition" takes place every second year.
