Port Charlotte (Gaelic "Port Sgioba") is a village on the island of Islay in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. It was founded in 1828.

Port Charlotte was named after Lord Frederick Campbell's wife, and it was set up mainly to provide housing facilities for the Lochindaal Distillery work force. Parts of the former distillery buildings are now in use as Youth Hostel and Wildlife Centre. Others are currently used by a garage, but will soon be used by the to be reopened Port Charlotte Distillery. The remaining warehouses are currently used by Bruichladdich distillery, who announced plans to reopen Port Charlotte Distillery in March 2007.The village is located on the shores of Loch Indaal and is very picturesque with its white painted houses. It is home to the Museum of Islay Life which is located in a former Church building.
