St Justinian (or St Justinian's^[1] or St Justinians) is a coastal location in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in the community of St Davids and the Cathedral Close. It is named for Justinian of Ramsey Island. There is a small harbour housing the St Davids Lifeboat Station, and a private residence. The harbour is used for boat trips to Ramsey Island, and for kayaking and speedboat trips. It is a popular access point for the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.^[2]

The ruined chapel of St Justinian is nearby and is a Grade I listed building.^[3] The 1870s old lifeboat house,^[4] 1911 lifeboat house,^[5] St Justinian's Well (19th century over an ancient spring), and an early 20th century watchtower^[6] are all Grade II listed buildings.

The bay on which St Justinian stands is known as Porthstinian.^[7]
