Ploudalmézeau (French pronunciation: ; Breton: Gwitalmeze) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France. The village and small port of Portsall is part of the commune. Portsall is known for the Amoco Cadiz oil spill. It is twinned with Cullompton, Devon. Inhabitants of Ploudalmézeau are called in French Ploudalméziens. In 2008, 11.69% of primary-school children attended bilingual schools, where Breton language is taught alongside French. On 16 March 1978, Amoco Cadiz, a very large crude carrier (VLCC), owned by Amoco, split in three after running aground on Portsall Rocks, 5 km (3.1 mi) from the coast of Portsall, resulting in the largest oil spill of its kind in history to that date.
