Përlepnicë () or Prilepnica (), is a village in the Anamorava region of eastern Kosovo. The village is situated by the old mountainous road leading up to Novo Brdo, some 7 km from Gjilan.
== Etymology == The etymology of Prilepnica / Përlepnicë may come from the same origin as the etymology of Prilep a town today in North Macedonia. In the Albanian language also the word Përlep appears in both; the name Prilep means “stuck” on the rocks in Old Church Slavonic. This is in reference to an old fortress that was attached to the rocky hilltop. This can be in reference to Prilepac a Serbian medieval fortress near Novo Brdo which is by Përlepnicë.
