Pacific Seacraft is an American shipyard based in North Carolina, Washington and founded in 1995. Pacific Seacraft primarily manufacture monohull sailing boats made of fiberglass. The shipyard is best known for its Crealock sailing boats which were designed by William Crealock.

The company was originally founded by Mike Howard and Henry Mohrschladt in 1975, with Mohrschladt as the first president. The first design produced was Mohrschladt's Pacific Seacraft 25, a trailerable sailboat that was reminiscent of a miniaturized version of the Scandinavian redningskoites of yore. The company was later purchased by Singmarine Industries, a subsidiary of the Singapore-based Keppel Group.

After Ericson filed for bankruptcy in 1990, Pacific Seacraft built some Ericson sailboat models. While headquartered in California, the company filed for Chapter 11 protection from its creditors in May 2007. The company's assets, with the exception of the Dana 24 molds which went to Portland, Oregon, were purchased at a bankruptcy auction September 2007 and moved in their entirety to Washington North Carolina, along with some of the former employees. Production restarted in 2008 under the new ownership of marine archeologist Stephen Brodie and his father Reid.

Pacific Seacraft currently produces four models: the Pacific Seacraft 31, 34, 37, and 40. All of them are cutter-rigged monohulls with canoe sterns, fin keels, and skeg-hung rudders. They have spacious and comfortable interiors that can accommodate up to six people. They are well balanced and seaworthy boats that can handle heavy weather conditions.
