Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic (formerly known as Rivers State School of Basic Studies, Rivers State College of Arts and Science and later Port Harcourt Polytechnic ) is a Polytechnic funded by the Government of Rivers State, located in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.

Port Harcourt Polytechnic was changed to Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike CON, who signed the Port Harcourt Polytechnic Bill into law on 4 July 2016

The Polytechnic was established in 1977 as a School of Basic studies. In 1992 due to its success and educational relevance the School of Basic Studies was converted to Rivers State College of Arts and Science to award College Diploma and Certificates in addition to its original programmes. This conversion provided the opportunities to those who otherwise would have been denied access to tertiary education.

In 2006 the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) accredited four programmes namely: National Diploma Accountancy, National Diploma Statistics, National Diploma Computer Science and Pre-National Diploma Science thereby elevating the College to a Polytechnic status.
In 2010 the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) granted accreditation to three (3) additional programmes at National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) levels. Following this development Rivers State Government responded to infrastructural challenges/needs of the institution.
