De Waterpoort (ook vaak Porta Regia of Coninckxpoort genoemd) was een stadspoort aan de Schelde te Antwerpen. In 1624 werd ze opgericht als ereboog voor koning Filips IV. Oorspronkelijk was ze gebouwd op de Vlasmarkt naar een ontwerp toegeschreven aan Rubens. Naar aanleiding van werken aan de Scheldekaaien werd de poort in de jaren 1880 verplaatst naar de Sint-Jansvliet. Toen op die plaats in 1933 het ingangsgebouw van de nieuwe Sint-Annavoetgangerstunnel moest verschijnen werd de poort opnieuw verplaatst. In 1936 werd ze uiteindelijk herbouwd op de Gillisplaats op Het Zuid, aan de gedempte Zuiderdokken.
