Pacifico Yokohama (パシフィコ横浜, Pashifiko Yokohama), officially known as Pacific Convention Plaza Yokohama, is a convention and exhibition center in Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. The center located in the western tip of waterfront Minato Mirai 21 district is one of the largest MICE venues in the nation.

The Conference Center and Yokohama Grand InterContinental Hotel were completed first on July 29, 1991 with the Exhibition Hall subsequently completed on October 12. On April 25, 1994, National Convention Hall of Yokohama was completed. In 2001 it was designated the main press centre for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the Exhibition Hall was expanded.

A major expansion, called Pacifico Yokohama North (officially known as the Yokohama Minato Mirai International Convention Center), opened on April 24, 2020. The first floor includes a multipurpose hall that is approximately 6300 m2 in area, which can be divided into eight sections and has a maximum capacity of approximately 6,000 people. The three floors above contain 42 conference rooms of varying sizes totaling 6185 m2.

The word "Pacifico" which stands for "Pacific" is derived from the Latin "pacificus" ("peace" in English), primarily meaning "peaceful" or "quiet". Pacifico Yokohama is also used as a music venue.

Pacifico Yokohama hosts the Japan branches of several international cooperation organizations such as ITTO, WFP, FAO, IFAD.
