The Mühlenwerder Hafen (old spelling Mühlenwärder) was a planned but never realized harbor basin of the Hamburg harbor .

In the port expansion project of 1910, the Mühlenwerder port was to be built on Hamburg-Waltershof between the Waltershofer port and the (meanwhile greatly reduced) Maakenwerder port as a seagoing ship port 1000 m long and 300 m wide. Due to the First World War and the resulting decline in the turnover of goods, the Mühlenwerder harbor was not created. Plans to dredge the port made after the Second World War were also discarded. From the 1920s to the current use of the area planned for the harbor basin as a container space, there was a residential area. Today the Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) is the site of the Port of Hamburg and Logistics (HHLA).
