Lipjan (Albanian definite form: Lipjani) or Lipljan (Serbian Cyrillic: Липљан) is a town and municipality located in the Pristina District of Kosovo.

[7] Lipjan is located in the central part of the Republic of Kosovo and at the crossroads of the most important roads in the region.

It borders the municipalities of Drenas, Kosovo Polje and Pristina to the north, Malisheva to the west, Novo Brdo and Gjilan to the east and Ferizaj, Suva Reka and Shtime to the south.

[8] The ancient predecessor of Lipjan, Ulpiana, was an important city in the Illyrian and Dardanian spheres.

Ulpiana also played an important ecclesiastical role, having had a local bishop present at the Council of Serdica in 347CE and at the Ecumenic Synod of 553CE.

He was a member of the Dukagjini family, whose principality extended from Northern Albania to modern-day Kosovo.
