Port Mellon is a settlement in British Columbia, Canada, located within the territory of the Squamish Nation, and part of West Howe Sound, Electoral Area F within the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD). Port Mellon is the home to the region's largest employer, the Howe Sound Pulp & Paper Mill.[1]

While Port Mellon does not have a commercial district, amenities are available a short drive away in Gibsons, British Columbia. Metro Vancouver is accessible via the nearby Langdale Ferry Terminal.

Nearby Tetrahedron Provincial Park is a popular location for hiking and camping.

The settlement was named for Captain Henry Augustus Mellon who came to Vancouver in 1886.[2]: 212
