Karepa is a village in Haljala Parish, Lääne-Viru County, in northeastern Estonia.

==Name== Karepa was attested in historical sources as Wald von Karrepso/Karlopso in 1541 (referring to the forest), Karepaeh in 1726, Karepä in 1796, and Karlpae in 1844. Enn Tarvel suggested that the name derives from the words kare 'unplowed, grassy land' plus -pa (from pea 'head(land)').
