A cable ferry or chain ferry is a means of water transportation by which a ferry or other boat is guided and in many cases propelled across a river or other larger body of water by means of cables or chains connected to both shores. Ferries of this type are also called punts, especially in Australian English, and in Africa they are often called pontoons, referring to the flat-bottomed type of vessel, but this is also used for ferries without chains and cables.

There are three types of cable ferry. One is the reaction ferry, which solely uses the power of the river to tack across the current; another is the powered cable ferry which uses an auto engine, diesel engine, or electric motors (like the Canby Ferry) to wind itself across the river. The third type, now fast disappearing, is the hand-operated type, such as the Stratford-upon-Avon Chain Ferry in the UK and the Saugatuck Chain Ferry in Michigan, USA. A reaction ferry is a ferry that uses the current of the river to propel the vessel across the river. ... The Canby Ferry (aka the M.J. Lee) is a ferry in the U.S. state of Oregon that connects Canby, and Wilsonville/Stafford in Clackamas County across the Willamette River. ...

Ferries are common where there is little other water-borne traffic which could get snagged in the cable or chains, where the water may be too shallow for other options, or where the river current is too strong to permit the safe crossing of a ferry service not attached to the riverbanks. Alignment of the platform at each end of the journey is automatic and, especially for vehicle ferries, safer than a free-moving ferry might be in bad conditions.

Cable ferries were particularly prominent in the era of canals during the 19th and early 20th centuries in Europe and North America. Such devices allowed the transfer of canal barges continually from one canal to another across a river in the presence of a substantial transverse flow.

Cable ferries continue to be useful means of water transportation in the 21st century. Most of the road crossings of the Murray River in South Australia are cable ferries operated by the state government. The cables are anchored to the shore at both ends, and the ferry propels itself along the cables by diesel engines pulling the cables. The platforms at the ends can be moved up or down according to the water level.
