Port Dickson, colloquially referred to as PD, is a beach resort in Port Dickson District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. It is the second largest urban area in the state after Seremban, the state capital. The town is run by the Port Dickson Municipal Council, which was known as the Port Dickson Sanitary Board from 1928 until 1950, the Port Dickson Town Board from 1950 until 1979 and the Port Dickson District Council from 1979 until 2002, so its local government changed form several times between 1928 and 2002. In Negeri Sembilan Malay the name is rendered Podeksen.
