Napeca (Nape, Napeka) is an extinct Chapacuran language. The Napeca people were said to have spoken the same language as those who spoke Quitemoca, and is thought to be a dialect of the same language as Quitemoca. Jürgen Riester documented the language in the 1960s, and recorded some samples.

Negation is expressed in Napeka by the infix -za-.
