}}{{For|the fictional town referred to in the Marlow family stories of Antonia Forest|Autumn Term}} Port Wade is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Annapolis County. It is situated at the foot of North Mountain on the shore of the Annapolis Basin.[1] An earlier French name was Pree Bourgeois and it was later known as West Ferry until 1905 when it was named after Fletcher Bath Wade.[2]

The Middleton and Victoria Beach Railway terminated here.[3] Iron ore from mines at Torbrook was transshipped here.[4]

Two houses in the village are municipally designated heritage properties. Captain James Anthony House was built c. 1853 in a modified Nova Scotia vernacular architectural style with Classical Revival influences.[5] The Captain Snow House built c. 1895, is described as an impressive example of the modified Gothic Revival style with Italianate and Queen Anne Revival influences.[6]
