Lopikerkapel is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Lopik, and lies about 3 km south of IJsselstein. The village has a small centre, with a church, but mostly consists of a ribbon of farms on both sides of the Enge IJssel river. The name Lopikerkapel means "Lopik's chapel".
== History == The village was first mentioned between 1381 and 1383 as Loepwiker capelle. Lopikerkapel developed as a linear settlement along the Enge IJssel. It was mainly an agricultural community. The chapel probably dated from the 13th century, and was replaced in the 15th century by the current church.
