Kaapor (Ka’apor, Kaaporté), also known as "Urubú" or Urubú-Kaapor, is a Tupi–Guarani language spoken by the Ka'apor people of French Guiana and Brazil.

There is a high incidence of congenital deafness among the Kaapor people, most of whom grow up bilingual in Urubu-Kaapor Sign Language, which may be indigenous to them.
