The Batangas International Port (Filipino: Daungan Pandaigdig ng Batangas) or locally known as the Batangas Pier (Tagalog: Pantalan ng Batangas) is a seaport in Barangay Santa Clara, Batangas City primarily serving the Calabarzon region of the Philippines. The seaport covers an area of about 150 hectares.

It was declared as a national port in 1956.[3] It serves as an alternate port to the Port of Manila. In the 1990s, it was the second biggest port in the Philippines in terms of revenue, just behind the Port of Manila.[4][5]
