Amirabad Special Economic Zone And Port or Amirabad Port of Behshahr (Persian: منطقه ویژه اقتصادی و بندر امیرآباد) is the largest port on the Caspian Sea, and is located in the north of Behshahr County, next to the peninsula and the biosphere reserve of Miankaleh in Iran.

The port has been designed in 3 phases, but today[when?] only the first phase has been fully implemented. This port is ranked fourth[clarification needed] in Iran, after the Shahid Rajaei Port, Imam Khomeini Port, and Qeshm port.

It is connected to the Iran Railway, benefiting from 15 berths with a capacity of 7.5 million tons and from the connection capacity of the North-South International Transit Corridor (INSTC).[3][4] The port, with an area of 1060 hectares, is the largest port in northern Iran.[5]
