Almedalen is a park in the Swedish city Visby on the island of Gotland. It is well known in Sweden as the central site of the annual Almedalen Week.

Due to the post-glacial rebound, the port over time grew too shallow and a new one had to be constructed further away from the city, where the sea is deeper. In the 19th century the area went by the name Gamle Hamn (Old Port).
