Portmuck (from Irish: Port Muc, meaning "port/harbour of pigs")[1] is a townland of 235 acres in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the civil parish of Islandmagee and the historic barony of Belfast Lower.[2]

The townland has given its name to a little island just off the coast called Isle of Muck,[1] which is a nature reserve.
