Port Davey is a location in the South West Wilderness of Tasmania. It is located adjacent to Bathurst Harbour and is sheltered from the Roaring Forties that buffet the western and south-western Tasmanian coast. It is not populated, but has in time had a number of reclusive inhabitants.

It is the penultimate location on the western part of the South Coast Walking Track - also known as South Coast and Port Davey Tracks.
