Cap-Santé is a town in the Canadian province of Quebec. It is the county seat of Portneuf Regional County Municipality.
The name of the town means, literally, "Cape Health". It is situated just west of the nearby Jacques-Cartier River on the shore of the St Lawrence River; the earliest settlement here seems to have been a military fort established in 1759 on the 'Plateau Jacques-Cartier' district of the municipality just at the mouth of the Jacques-Cartier River.
