Biery's Port Historic District is a national historic district located in Catasauqua, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984[1] and includes 90 contributing buildings in the Biery's Port section of Catasauqua.

The district includes mainly mid- to late-19th century dwellings, and some 2 1/2-story stone dwellings built in the early 19th century by Frederick Biery. Notable non-residential buildings include the Americana Hotel (1852) and Dery Silk Mill.[2]
