伸展构造(英语:Extensional tectonics)是指在地壳岩石圈受张力而造成的构造。通常在大陆裂谷 [1]. 中洋脊弧后盆地分离板块边缘被动边缘等皆能形成伸展构造[2]。最常见的是在铲形断层内的滚动背斜(英语:rollover anticline)和背脊塌垮地堑[3]。在走滑断层也有伸展构造,如伸展走滑体系(英语:releasing bends of strike-slip fault)。它是当走滑断层沿走向错开时,中间的间隙,会产生了一个延伸或扩张带[4]。在聚合板块边缘,通常伸展构造较少,但当大陆碰撞时,地壳增厚抬升,由于重力垮塌,向侧延申也形成伸展构造[5] [6]

地垒和地堑是标准伸展构造。红色箭头代表伸展方向.
