The Port Moller Hot Springs Village Site is a prehistoric archeological site on the Alaska Peninsula. It is located on the shores of Moller Bay, an indentation on the peninsula with extensive tidal flats. Until historical times the area was a border region between the Aleut people and the Inuit people. The site is notable for the presence of a sulphurous hot spring, which provides drinkable water. The 50-acre (20 ha) site contains the remains of a native village and extensive refuse middens. The site was first excavated in 1928.
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
