BridgePort Brewing Company is an American brewery located in Portland, Oregon.

BridgePort was founded in 1984 by local winemakers Richard and Nancy Ponzi, and the brewery claims in their trademark to be "Oregon's Oldest Craft Brewery". The initial brewing facility, the Columbia River Brewery, had a 600-barrel per year capacity. BridgePort was acquired by Carlos Alvarez in 1995, expanding its capacity in 2001 to 100,000 barrels. BridgePort's beers are distributed in 18 states nationwide.

The brewery's BridgePort India Pale Ale has won a number of awards in the United States and abroad, including a Gold Medal at the 2005 Brewing Industry International Awards, in Munich, Germany; a Gold Medal and Category Champion Trophy at the 2000 Brewing Industry International Awards in London, England; and a Gold Medal for Classic English Style Pale Ale at the Great American Beer Festival, in Denver, CO in 1997.

BridgePort's Blue Heron Pale Ale was first brewed in 1987 as a special release for the Audubon Society, and named after Portland’s official city bird, the Great Blue Heron. The beer's flavor draws on its Northwest roots, using ingredients such as hops from the Willamette Valley and malt that was grown in the barley fields of Oregon's high desert.

Bridgeport brews a barleywine named "Old Knucklehead" where a "Knucklehead" is inaugurated every few years. Bottling "no. 11" features Portland, Oregon beer writer Fred Eckhardt.
