Kapolei is an unincorporated city and census-designated place (CDP) in Honolulu County, Hawaii, United States, on the island of Oahu. It is colloquially known as the "second city", in relation to Honolulu.

The community takes its name from a volcanic cone, Puʻu o Kapolei. In the Hawaiian language, puʻu means "hill" and Kapo lei means "beloved Kapo". According to legend, Kapo was sister to Pele.

Much of the land is part of the estate of industrialist James Campbell. Kapolei's major developer is Kapolei Property Development, a subsidiary of James Campbell Company. Kapolei sits primarily upon former sugarcane and pineapple fields.

Kapolei is quickly becoming a new urban center for Oahu, Hawaii's most densely populated island. Much of Oahu's future population growth is slated for the ʻEwa Plain and southern slopes of the island's central valley, between Waipahu on Pearl Harbor and Wahiawa near the island's center.

Initial residential construction in the Kapolei area began in the late 1980s, with commercial developments springing up shortly thereafter. As of the 2010 census, the Kapolei CDP had a population of 15,186 people.
