Pembinaan kapal ialah pembuatan kapal, bot, sampan dan kenderaan air yang lain. Ia biasanya berlaku di fasiliti khas yang dikenali sebagai limbungan. Pembina kapal, juga dipanggil pembuat kapal (shipwright), mengikuti kerja-kerja khusus yang asal-usulnya dikesan sebelum penulisan sejarah.
Pembinaan dan pembaikan kapal, samada secara komersial dan ketenteraan, dirujuk sebagai "kejuruteraan laut". Pembinaan perahu adalah aktiviti yang sama yang dipanggil pembuatan perahu.
Penghapusan kapal dipanggil pemecahan kapal.
