Former name(s)Dana's Wharf
LocationCommercial Street, Portland, Maine, U.S.

Merrill's Wharf is a historic wharf in Portland, Maine,[1] on the edge of the Fore River. It stands across Commercial Street from Cross Street and, on the waterfront side, between Union Wharf (to the north) and the Portland Fish Pier (to the south).[2][3][4][5] It was formerly known as Dana's Wharf.

Today, the wharf is home to businesses (including Pierce Atwood), which occupy a former brick warehouse known as the Twitchell–Chaplin Grocery Company Building.[6]
