Skipstypeforkortingar er bokstavkombinasjonar brukt framfor namnet til eit skip. Dei kan identifisera framdriftsforma (t.d. damp, som i DS), verkeområdet eller føremålet med skipet (som KV for kystvaktskip). Forkortingane skil gjerne mellom militære og sivile skip. Ein har brukt ulike forkortingar i ulike land og til ulike tider.
