Dampoort (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdɑmpoːrt]; also Dampoortwijk) is a neighbourhood in the city of Ghent in Belgium.

[1][2] Nowadays it is mainly known as the location of railway station Gent-Dampoort and a major crossroads.

It opened the city towards the region of Waasland (or Land van Waas) and Antwerp.

It is also where the commercial seaport of Ghent links with the inner-city canals.

Close to the Dampoort is Portus Ganda, the yachting area of the city, which opened in 2005, at the former confluence of the rivers Schelde (English: Scheldt) and Leie.
