Puttgarden is a ferry harbour on the German island of Fehmarn. It lies on an important route between Germany and Denmark known as the Vogelfluglinie which crosses the 18 km strait, the Fehmarnbelt, to Rødby on the island of Lolland.

A train ferry terminal was built in Puttgarden in 1961 after the old ferry from Germany lay to Denmark between Rostock and Gedser beyond the iron curtain in East Germany. Since the completion of the Great Belt Fixed Link in Denmark, the route via Puttgarden has become less used. The harbour is still used by Scandlines ferries.
