Kępice [kɛmˈpʲit͡sɛ] (German: Hammermühle; Kashubian: Hômer) is the town in Słupsk county, Pomeranian Voivodeship, northern Poland. It has 3,878 inhabitants and is 6.11 square kilometres (2.36 sq mi) in size.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
