Kapalong, officially the Municipality of Kapalong (; ), is a municipality in the province of Davao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 81,068 people.

==History== Through Executive Order No. 151 signed by President Elpidio Quirino, the town was founded on July 8, 1948, from the Municipal District of Tagum, which was formed in 1918. It was one of the oldest towns in Davao del Norte Province, others being Tagum, in 1941; and Panabo, in 1949, both of which were converted into cities more than 50 years later. Though the towns of Santo Tomas, Talaingod and portion of San Isidro emerged from Kapalong in 1959, 1991, and 2004 respectively, it is still the largest town by land area in the province of Davao del Norte.
