Hambantota Port is located in Sri Lanka.

Hambantota Port, officially known as the Magampura Mahinda Rajapaksa Port, is a deep-water port in Hambantota, Sri Lanka. It is strategically located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, near major shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean.

The port has gained international attention due to its development partly funded by China and the subsequent lease of the port and surrounding land to a Chinese company (China Merchants Port Holdings) on a 99-year lease in 2017, which raised geopolitical concerns.
