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.

In 2025, puffins were found to be nesting on the Isle of Muck for the first time in 25 years. [3]
