Kennebunkport is a town located in York County, Maine. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 3,720. It is perhaps best known as the location of the summer home of former president George H. W. Bush.

The town center located along the Kennebunk River, approximately one-half mile (1 km) from the mouth of the river on the ocean. Historically a fishing village, in recent decades the town has become a popular seaside tourist destination with a small district of souvenir shops, art galleries, seafood restaurants, and bed and breakfasts. Its reputation as an upscale community comes from the numerous large seaside estates along Ocean Avenue and other coastal thoroughfares. The famous "Bush Compound" is located on Walker's Point, a peninsula visible from Ocean Avenue. During the fall, Kennebunkport is a frequent stop for tour buses showing visitors the famous New England fall colors.

Just outside Kennebunkport, in Arundel, is the Seashore Trolley Museum. For beating tourist traffic, Rt. 35 is an excellent route to and from Interstate 95.

Kennebunkport and neighboring Kennebunk comprise Maine School Administrative District 71.
