{{#Badges:CoalSwarm|Navbar-Coalexports}}'''Rason Port,''' also referred to as '''Rajin Port,''' is an ice-free port in the Sea of Japan (East Sea of Korea) in the North Pacific Ocean on the northeast tip of North Korea. It is in the Rason Special Economic Zone in the Kwanbuk region.
The city of Rajin-Sŏnbong - two closely connected urban areas - is also often referred to as Rajin. While the name for the two locations was officially shortened from "Rajin-Sŏnbong" to "Rason" in 2000, Rajin is still commonly used to refer to the port.
