Dutch Harbor is a famous port town located on Amaknak Island (aka Umaknak) facing Unalaska City (to the south) on Unalaska Island (part of Alaska's Aleutian Archipelago). Port Dutch Harbor (locode USDUT) is the USA's largest fishing port by volume caught. Dutch Harbor is within Unalaska City's limits, being interconnected by a bridge.

Dutch Harbor is home of a major commercial fishing industry, ranked as top fishing port with over a USD 1 billion being transferred each year. The industry is heavily based on the enormous harvests of cod and pollock in the Bering Sea, which continental shelf is one of the world's largest and supports an abundant ecosystem. Dutch Harbor has turned into a full-service port (including for cruise ships).

During WW2 (1939-45), the Battle of Dutch Harbor took place here (in June 1942), as one of the few American territories bombed by the Japanese. The harbor was also featured in the Discovery Channel's reality TV series "Deadliest Catch".
