Copnor is an area of Portsmouth, England, located on the eastern side of Portsea Island.

In the late 19th, early 20th century the rapid expansion of Portsmouth saw the original village engulfed.

However, this never materialised, in spite of the large gap between stations, and the existence of a signalled level crossing for many years, replaced by a bridge in 1908.

[6] It is home to a 15th century font originally from St Mary's Church, Portsea.

[8] James Callaghan, who served as prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1976 until 1979 and was in parliament from 1945 until 1987, was born at 38 Funtington Road in Copnor on 27 March 1912.
