Kupferzell is a small German town in the district of Hohenlohe in Baden-Württemberg, Germany named after the Kupfer river flowing through it.

The largest neighbouring towns are Künzelsau (to the north) and Schwäbisch Hall (to the south).

Kupferzell was first mentioned in 1236 and as early as the 14th century, the Count of Hohenlohe owned property there.

During the late Middle Ages, Kupferzell always was referred to as "Celle", with a closer localization of "uf dem Ornwaldt".

Mid May, the Robert Koch-Institut started a seroepidemiology study named "Corona Monitoring lokal" attempting to enroll 2000 of the town's 6000 inhabitants for antibody testing and a throat swab for SARS-CoV-2.
