Lippenhuizen () is a village in the municipality of Opsterland in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1,330 in January 2017.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Luppingahusum, and means houses of the Luppinga family. Lippenhuizen developed on a sandy ridge in a heath and moorland region. In 1718, the Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart was extended to near the church for the excavation of peat.
