Portscatho (Cornish: Porthskathow) is a coastal village on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

It has an estimated population of 1,500 people. Portscatho lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The name Portscatho comes from the Cornish language words porth, meaning 'harbour' or 'cove', and skathow, meaning 'boats'.
