Yordan Piperkov (1870–1903) (Bulgarian: Йордан Силянов Пиперков); (Macedonian: Јордан Пиперков), widely known as Yordan Piperkata, (Bulgarian: Йордан Пиперката, Macedonian: Јордан Пиперката) was a Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary from the early 20-th century, member of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization (IMARO).[1][2][3] In Republic of Macedonia he is considered Macedonian.

He was born in Kozitsa, Vardar Macedonia, Ottoman Empire to a poor family. He could not graduate at Bulgarian school in Bitola because his family moved to Sofia, Bulgaria, where he met insurgents from the Kresna-Razlog Uprising and other vojvods. This sparked in him an interest for the Macedonian liberation movement. Later Piperkata was active in the Macedonian Supreme Committee's actions in Ottoman Macedona. Afterwards he participated in IMARO and several times entered Macedonia from Bulgaria with different chetas. Piperkata was killed during the Ilinden Uprising.
