Greenport is a village in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 2,048 at the 2000 census.

The Village of Greenport is located in the Town of Southold and is the only incorporated village in the town.

The village was previously called Winter Harbor, Stirling, and Green Hill and was incorporated in 1838. Greenport was once a whaling and ship building village, and, since 1844, has been the eastern terminal station on the north fork for the Long Island Rail Road.

Greenport is a major port city for its area, having developed strong fishing and whaling industry. More recently the tourism industry has grown substantially too, especially in the warm summer months. This is due in part to Greenport being a three way link for travellers taking the Long Island Expressway towards New York, crossing Shelter Island to Sag Harbor, or riding Cross Sound Ferry to New England.

Although located in the resort area of the Twin Forks, Greenport sports a high rate of poverty, roughly equivalent to that of the New York City bourough of Queens.

Greenport is located at 41.103062, -72.363954.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 3.1 km² (1.2 mi²). 2.5 km² (1.0 mi²) of it is land and 0.6 km² (0.2 mi²) of it (20.66%) is water.
