Baffins is an administrative district of Portsmouth, located on the eastern side of Portsea Island. The district is mainly composed of 1930's housing.

Before the area became developed for housing, it had been occupied by a farm of the same name. This farm had a history stretching back to the 12th century. The only surviving remnant of the rural past is Baffins Pond and the surrounding open area located in the centre of the district.
