Port Owen is a marina in the town of Velddrif, 145 km from Cape Town on the West Coast of the Cape Province of South Africa.

It comprises 100 hectares and has 3.5 km of waterways. The marina is surrounded on three sides by the Great Berg River and is one kilometre from the harbour mouth where the river meets St. Helena Bay. This bay offers the finest sailing conditions on the South African coast line due to its sheltered nature and orientation to the prevailing summers wind (South-east Trade).

Port Owen is named after Owen H. Wiggins Jnr. who developed the marina and its residential plots.
