Birmingham Port (port code: USBHM), also known as Birmingport, is a river port in Alabama, the United States. It is located on the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River in northwestern Jefferson County on Alabama Highway 269 (Birmingport Road) south of Quinton.
The port was developed in 1920 by the Port of Birmingham Company, with offices in the Jefferson Bank Building. It was created in conjunction with the development of the Warrior River Barge Line, which permitted barge traffic from Birmingham to reach Mobile and New Orleans.
Port activity stretches for about two miles along the banks of Locust Fork, primarily serving the steel and road construction industries with raw materials shipped north from Mobile by barge. The port's primary export is coal from the Oak Grove Mine.
