Kazan Aircraft Production Association (KAPO; Russian: Казанское авиационное производственное объединение имени С. П. Горбунова; Tatar: Cyrillic С.П. Горбунов исемендәге Казан авиация җитештерү берләшмәсе, Latin S.P. Ğorbunov isemendäge Qazan aviatsiya citeşterü berläşmäse) is an aircraft manufacturer based in Kazan, Russia.

KAPO currently produces Tu-214 passenger planes and Tu-160 strategic bombers. There are also plans to start producing Tu-334 regional airliners and Tu-330 freighters.

The company was established in Moscow on 14 May 1927 and moved to Kazan in November 1941. It has built more than 18,000 aircraft of 34 types during its history.

After KAPO has upgraded the current Russian bomber fleet (see Tupolev Tu-160) it will start production of a "new-generation strategic bomber", the PAK DA.
