The Royal Port of Barrow is an enclosed dock system in Barrow-in-Furness, England, comprising four docks. The port is owned and operated by Associated British Ports and is surrounded by Morecambe Bay to the east, and the Irish Sea to the south and west.
The port estate incorporates key areas of the Barrow shipyard, one of the largest shipyards in the United Kingdom and the country's only submarine production facility. It also handles general freight traffic and occasional cruise liners for passengers visiting the nearby Lake District.
The port was granted the title of "Royal" on 22 September 2025 by King Charles III, to reflect the town's contribution to national security.
