Constructors aren't inherited so can't be overridden so their is no use of having final constructor in Java ! When you don't want any method or function to be overridden than we make use the final constructor but constructor are by default from JLS (Java Language Specification) definition can’t be overridden, so there is no final constructor is present in java.

No constructor cannot be made final or other modifiers accept public, private, protected, default.

There are even other non-access modifiers that cannot be used with constructors. https://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-10-2000/jw-1013-constructors.html

A constructor gets invoked when a new object is created. And the answer is no. A constructor cannot be made final for the reasons DishaAhuja and Avinesh gave.
