Port Stephens is a settlement on West Falkland, in the Falkland Islands. It is on the far south west of the island, near Calm Head and Cape Meredith and Hoste Inlet is the nearest other settlement. Until recently, it was one of the Falkland Island Company's largest sheep stations. While the harbour itself is sheltered, the surrounding area is frequently battered by Antarctic storms. The location is highly rugged, and considered to be amongst the most scenic in the Falklands. The settlement has no formal tourist facilities.

Nearby, thousands of birds including rockhoppers and cormorants, breed on the coast.
