Portknockie (Scottish Gaelic: Port Chnocaidh, the hilly port) is a coastal village on the Moray Firth within Moray, Scotland. The village's name is written as Portknockies in the Old Parish Registers.

Portknockie is a fishing village and resort on the Moray coast between Findochty and Cullen. The village overlooks the Moray Firth and a harbour, and is a great place to spot dolphins. Founded in 1677, Portknockie was a significant fishing port in the 19th century and today the harbour continues to be busy with private boats.

Portknockie lies some two miles west of Cullen and is one of the string of traditional fishing villages that line the north coasts of Moray and Aberdeenshire, though it differs from many in lying above cliffs that drop steeply to the shore, and harbour, below.
