Capable of Honor is a political novel written by Allen Drury, published in 1966. It is the second sequel to Drury's novel, Advise and Consent.

The novel takes place in the same fictional universe as Advise and Consent. Capable of Honor examines the role that journalists play during a US presidential campaign. In the novel, Harley Hudson, the affable but inept Vice President from the first novel, is now president and seeking a term of his own. Governor Ted Jason of California challenges Hudson for the Majority Party's nomination (the novels never use the proper names "Republican" or "Democrat" but the descriptions of Majority Party corresponds strongly to the Democrats of the 1960s). Racial antagonism volatile media personalities, and ambitious politicians come together for the climax at the Majority Party's nomination convention.
