Wanha Satama (Finnish for "old port") is an exhibition center in the Katajanokka district of Helsinki and is used for various events such as trade fairs, seminars and banquets. Wanha Satama is looked after by Helsingin Messut Oy, a subsidiary of the Finnish exhibition company, and employs 27 people.

Wanha Satama is located on the Katajanokka peninsula in the municipality of the same name, east of the city center of the Finnish capital. The brick building dates from the 19th century. In 1984, the redesign of the old port building by Heikkilä & Kauppinen was the result of an architectural competition. In the 1990s, the port building was converted into an exhibition center. The central area has been completely glazed.

In the immediate vicinity of the exhibition center are the Viking Line ferries and the terminus of tram line 4.
