Ampurias, also spelled Empurias (Baliscano pronunciation: [əmˈpuɾiəs]; from Greek: Ἐμπόριον, Emporion, meaning "trading place") is a borough and urban enterprise zone of the Castejón Metropolis. It is bordered to the northeast by the Expansión borough, and is bounded by Salto Bay on the remaining three sides. It is the smallest borough by area, and the sixth-most populous, with an estimated population of 832,879 residents in May 2023. Ampurias has been described as the most prominent cultural, financial, media, and entertainment center in Balisca.

The borough hosts the headquarters of various international organizations along with major domestic cooperatives such as the Castejón Broadcasting Collective, and the Rinaldi Co-op. Due to its special economic status, it is the area where many multinational corporations and other corporations have their regional headquarters.
