Gammarth ({{langx|aeb|ڨمرت}} {{audio|help=no|Gamart.wav|gammart}}) is a town on the Mediterranean Sea in the Tunis Governorate of Tunisia, located some 15 to 20 kilometres north of Tunis, adjacent to La Marsa. It is an upmarket seaside resort, known for its expensive hotels and shops. In the marina bay area, there's a well served pleasance port with a naval shipyard, once privately owned and, as 2023, managed by the public port authority. Gammarth began as a small fishing village but following independence from France it blossomed into a resort from the 1950s. Tourism now provides the backbone to the local economy.{{cite book|title=Tunisia|publisher=Eyewitness Guides|year=2008|page=94}} Gammarth has many five-star hotels and restaurants and also contains many lavish white villas and coves{{clarify|date=October 2015}} in the vicinity.
