Custom House Wharf is a historic wharf in Portland, Maine, on the edge of the Fore River. Named for Portland's United States Custom House, which stands across Commercial Street from the wharf, on Pearl Street, the wharf is located between Maine Wharf (to the north) and Portland Pier (to the south).[1][2][3][4]

Today's businesses that exist on the wharf include Harbor Fish Market, Boone's Fish House & Oyster Room,[5] and The Porthole pub, which was established in 1929.[6]
