Capital City (often written Capitol City) is a fictional state capital from The Simpsons. It is the capital of the state where Springfield and Shelbyville are located. The city nickname is "The Windy Apple" (a portmanteau of The Windy City and The Big Apple). Principal Seymour Skinner was born in the city, and Milhouse Van Houten's mother, Luanne Van Houten, moved there after her divorce.

The city is often host to major events such as concerts, sports games and United Nations Conferences. It has its own major league baseball team, The Capital City Capitals, with mascot The Capital City Goofball. Other attractions include the Cross-town suspension bridge, the main Duff Brewery, the Capital City Stadium, the Capital City Amphitheatre and the intersection of 4th and D streets.

The city is 220 miles away from Springfield, with air-routes, several roads, and a railway linking the two cities. The city also has several large hotels which frequently host conventions attended by the Simpson family, and Capital City also hosted the Superbowl and Hullabalooza.
