A scheme is proposed for the creation of cluster-type entangled coherent states via cavity QED. Based on the large detuning condition interaction between a three-level Λ type atom driven by two classical fields and two bimodal cavities, the spontaneous emission of the atom can be ignored. Moreover, the initial states of the two cavity fields are all prepared in vacuum. In this scheme, it is shown that the cluster-type entangled coherent states can be generated after the atomic measurement, and the experimental feasibility is also discussed.
