Capo d'Orlando is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Messina, Sicily, southern Italy, one of the main centers of the mountain and coastal Nebrodi area.

A large part of the town is mainly located on a narrow plain, enclosed between the sea and a hill range which extends parallel to it. Here, various frazioni are located: San Martino (the most populated), Scafa, Piscittina, Forno Alto, Catutè, Certari e Malvicino, all are located at between 50 and 300m of altitude. On the western side, the frazioni of Forno Medio, Trazzera Marina, Piana, Furriolo, Bruca, Vina, Masseria, San Giuseppe and Tavola Grande are located. On the eastern coastline we can find the village of San Gregorio (Borgo di San Gregorio), in addition to the seaside area called Testa di Monaco, bordering the comune of Naso.

Climate in Capo D'Orlando is Mediterranean subtropical, with warmer, rainy and short winters, and hot and muggy (but usually also windy) summers. Climatic conditions, moreover, allow cultivation of subtropical plants (both ornamental and fruit plants) on the entire territory of the comune. According to the Köppen climate classification, the city is part of the Csa climate zone.

Tourism is one of the main resources of the local economy. The town also has a small marina for both fishing and tourist boats alike that also offers transportation to and from the Aeolian islands during the summer season and approximately 14 km of beaches, rocky shores that face the deep blue Tyrrenian sea making it an ideal spot to enjoy the summertime, early fall and late springtime. The location of Capo d'Orlando is also very peculiar because for a town that faces the sea, it is also very close (less than 20 km) to Nebrodi Mountain Regional Environmental Park: a fairly large extension of temperate woods, where is possible to hike to lakes, rivers, falls and tiny historical villages where everyone can enjoy the best of traditional Sicilian food and wine. There are banks and commercial business firms along with several fair sized factories located nearby such as "Porte IMIC" (wooden and metal door manufacturer), "irritec" and "siplast" (irrigation systems). Another economic factor is exploitation of the extensive presence of orange and lemon fields throughout the area.

Capo d'Orlando is home to a second division basketball team, Orlandina Basket.
