Lapinje (pronounced [ˈlaːpinjɛ]; German: Neugereuth[1][2] or Laubbüchel[1]) is a former village in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia.

The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.

In feudal times it was part of the Dominion of Poljane.

The Cankar Brigade of the Partisan forces was founded in Lapinje in 1942; a plaque has been installed at the site to commemorate the event.
