Mārupe () is a town and the administrative centre of Mārupe Municipality in the Vidzeme region of Latvia. The town is a suburb of Riga, the capital of Latvia. Mārupe borders the Zemgale Suburb of Riga to its east and northeast. A small river, Mārupīte, flows through the town, which gave the town its name.

Riga International Airport is located just outside the town's boundary to the northwest.
