Capalaba (/kaˈpɐlabaː/) is a suburb in the Redland Shire, located 27°31′22.78″S, 153°11′33.72″E approximately half an hour drive east from the centre of Brisbane.

The name probably comes from the words kappella (meaning ring tailed or scrub possum) and ba (meaning place), in the Yuggera language (Yugarabul dialect).

The suburb has a large shopping and commercial centre with a mall and bus station, and light industrial zones surrounded by residential streets and bushland. Surrounding suburbs include Alexandra Hills, Burbank and Chandler, both of which lie on the eastern border of Brisbane.
