Jamesport is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 1,526 at the 2000 census.
During the 1960s, the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) designated land on the north shore for use as a possible second nuclear power station, in addition to its Shoreham plant, already under construction. However, when LILCO ran into opposition to Shoreham in the 1970s and 1980s, the Jamesport plan was scrapped.
