Maine Wharf is a historic wharf in Portland, Maine. It is located on Commercial Street, between Franklin Street and Pearl Street,[1] on the edge of the Fore River. On the waterfront side, it is situated between Maine State Pier (to the north) and Custom House Wharf (to the south).[2][3][4]

Today's businesses that exist on the wharf include Scales[5] and Bang Island Mussels.[6] The former Dry Dock Restaurant & Tavern stands at the head of the wharf in a building formerly occupied by Randall & McAllister.[7][8][9] The restaurant closed in 2018, after over thirty years in business.[10]
