Čušperk (; ) is a village in the Municipality of Grosuplje in central Slovenia. It lies in the hills south of Grosuplje in the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
==Name== Čušperk was first attested in written sources in 1220 as Czobelsperch (and as castrum Zobelsperc in 1248 and Zusperch in 1400, among other variations). The name originally referred to the castle located at the site and, based on medieval sources, is derived from Middle High German Zobelsberc, a compound of zobel 'sable' + berc 'mountain'.
