Zapudje (pronounced [zaˈpuːdjɛ]) is a village in the hills south of Dragatuš in the Municipality of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia.

Lubešnica (or Lebešnica) Spring is located in a cave southeast of the village, just inside the territory of neighboring Gornji Suhor pri Vinici, but provided water for fieldwork in the Loke area.

A vineyard cottage, used to store wine and wheat to maintain St. Peter's Church, was abandoned before the First World War.

During the Second World War, because of frequent Partisan activity in the village, Italian forces from Sinji Vrh entered Zapudje, shot eight local men, burned 25 houses and 35 farm buildings, and sent many of the residents to a concentration camp.

[4] Local tradition states that an earlier church, attested in 1526, stood at a different location, where traces of walls are visible.
