Keyport is an unincorporated community in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. The community is located at the eastern terminus of State Route 308 on the Kitsap Peninsula, 3.42 miles (5.50 km) east of Subase Bangor. Keyport's ZIP Code, 98345, had a ZCTA population of 403 at the 2000 census, in addition to a small contingent of Navy personnel. Keyport's nickname is "Torpedo Town USA".

Situated on a small peninsula jutting into Liberty Bay near Poulsbo, it is the home of a small United States Navy depot tasked with ranging and repairing torpedoes for the US Navy and allies. Keyport's major tourist facility is the Naval Undersea Museum which exhibits many displays on undersea technology, including the Trieste II, which descended to 20,000 ft (6,100 m). There is also a boat dock operated by the local Port Authority. Kitsap County maintains a small county park on the beach just across SR-308 from the main gate. The base sports a boat launch, a large picnic area on a lagoon, and a number of hiking trails on "Radio Hill" used by employees during lunch breaks. Recreational boaters, however, are cautioned to stay at least 300 feet (91 m) away from the production area of the base.
