The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS), often called the Portsmouth Navy Yard, is a United States Navy shipyard for building, remodeling, and repairing the Navy's ships. (It should not be confused with HMNB Portsmouth, a base for the Royal Navy.)

Despite its name, it is located in Kittery, Maine, opposite Portsmouth, New Hampshire, occupying the whole of Seavey Island within the Piscataqua River. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is also sometimes confused with the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, which is in Portsmouth, Virginia.
