神戸ハーバーランドは、兵庫県神戸市中央区にある再開発地区。1982年（昭和57年）11月に貨物駅としての営業を終了した旧国鉄の湊川貨物駅、川崎製鉄（現在のJFEホールディングス）・川崎重工業といった沿岸一帯の工場の跡地約23haを1985年（昭和60年）、再開発に着手し、1992年（平成4年）9月に街開きした市街地である。東端は大阪湾に面し、従来工場や倉庫など港湾施設で占拠されていて一般市民が近づけなかった臨海部を市民に開放する狙いを持ったウォーターフロントが開発された。
鉄道の便は、地下街のデュオこうべが当地を起点に北（山側）に向かって延び、山陽本線（JR神戸線）の神戸駅・神戸市営地下鉄海岸線ハーバーランド駅・神戸高速鉄道東西線高速神戸駅など複数路線の駅が利用できる。対岸のメリケンパーク側に神戸ポートタワーや神戸海洋博物館といった観光施設が揃うのに対し、ハーバーランド側には神戸モザイクなどの複合商業施設が林立し、顧客の獲得競争が日々繰り広げられている。これらは主にハーバーランド全体の東側に集中しており、住宅街は当初は西側が中心となっていた。
