Poortugaal () is a village () that is situated near the municipality of Rotterdam in the South Holland province of the Netherlands. Together with neighbouring Rhoon, Poortugaal forms the municipality of Albrandswaard.
The village was first established in 15th century, following a royal land grant by the Spanish Netherlands to their local feudal vassals and supporters among the Dutch nobility. A Catholic church, a symbol of permanent settlements in the past, that dates to that period is found in the village centre.
