Portage and Main is an intersection in the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is located in downtown Winnipeg where Portage Avenue (Route 85) and Main Street (Route 52) intersect. The corner is known as the "crossroads of Canada", due to its relative proximity to the longitudinal centre of Canada.

Portage and Main is now the hub of some of Winnipeg's main transportation routes. It was once the centre for the banking industry in Western Canada. The national banks have branches accessible from beneath Portage and Main. It has served as a temporary city square and meeting place for parades and events.

Portage and Main is the brunt of popular jokes referring to it as the coldest and windiest intersection in Canada.
