Ćuprija (Serbian Cyrillic: Ћуприја, pronounced [tɕǔprija]) is a town and municipality located in the Pomoravlje District of central Serbia.

Some local names (of the villages Paljane and Isakovo, of the river Mirosava) recall the major clash in autumn 1191 between the Serbs (under Stefan Nemanja) and the Byzantines (under Emperor Isaac II Angelos).

In World War II, a special Ćuprija-Paraćin partisan troop was formed in order to fight against the German Wehrmacht.

The Second World War finally ended in Ćuprija on October 13, 1944, when town was liberated from the Wehrmacht during the so-called Belgrade Operation.
