A Sambuk, Sanbuk or Sambuq (Arabic: سنبوك‎) is a type of dhow, a traditional wooden Arabic sailing vessel. It has a characteristic keel design, with a sharp curve right below the top of the prow. Formerly Sambuks had ornate carvings.

The Sambuk was used along the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, especially in Southern Arabia, like Saham and Sur in Oman, where it was formerly used in pearl fishing, as well as in the Yemeni coast of the Red Sea. It is the largest type of Dhow seen in the Persian Gulf today.

Usually a Sambuk had one or two masts with lateen sails, but nowadays most are motorized. It has been one of the most successful dhows in history.
