Port Henderson (Scottish Gaelic : Portaigil) is a fishing village on the south west shore of the Gair Loch near the village of Gairloch, Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. ^[1] The fishing village was created by Hector Mackenzie as locally grown crops were not sufficient to feed the village population. ^[2]

The villages of South Erradale and Opinan are located directly south from the village along the B8056 coast road.
