Topolobampo (Spanish pronunciation: [topolo'bampo]) is a port on the Gulf of California in northwestern Sinaloa, Mexico. It is the fourth-largest town in the municipality of Ahome (after Los Mochis, Ahome, and Higuera de Zaragoza), reporting a 2005 census population of 6,032 inhabitants.
The port connects the northern Mexican states through the Chihuahua-Pacific Railroad, which has a terminus in nearby Los Mochis. It is the eastern port for the daily car ferry connecting to La Paz in Baja California Sur.
Topolobampo is also the beginning of the international trade corridor, "La Entrada al Pacifico", that ends near the Midland-Odessa, Texas area.
Topolobampo was the site of a Radical "utopian" colony from roughly 1884 to 1894, that had an influence on the urban planning ideas of Ebenezer Howard.
