Port Erin (Manx: Purt Çhiarn, meaning lord's port) is a seaside village in the south-west of the Isle of Man, in the historic parish of Rushen. It was previously a seaside resort before the decline of the tourist trade. Administratively it is designated as a village district, with its own board of commissioners. The district covers around 1 square mile, and is adjacent to Port St Mary to the south-east; the main part of Rushen parish district to the north and east; the sea to the west; and an exclave of Rushen parish district (including the village of Cregneash) to the south.
