Saint-Nicolas-de-Port (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ nikɔla də pɔʁ]) is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle département in north-eastern France.

[3] The town's basilica, Saint Nicolas, is a pilgrimage site, supposedly holding relics of Saint Nicholas brought from Italy.

It is one of France's Monuments historiques, and a minor basilica since 1950.

In the past, the Portois were known as loudmouths; their neighbours across the Meurthe at Varangéville liked to gather on the opposite river bank to bombard them with a chorus indicating a wish to defecate in their mouths: which in the local Lorrain dialect means: St Nicholas-de-Port is also known for fossil remains of very early (late Triassic) ancestral mammals.
