Devonport, in Devon, was formerly called Plymouth Dock. It is now a district of Plymouth, although it was at one time the more important settlement. Devonport was originally one of the "Three Towns" (along with Plymouth and East Stonehouse) which were merged in 1914 to form what would later become, in 1928, the City of Plymouth.

The Torpoint Ferry service across the Hamoaze (River Tamar) operates from Devonport.
