Soupir (French pronunciation: [supiʁ]) is a commune in the Aisne department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
Located south of the Chemin des Dames, the village was largely destroyed during the Second Battle of the Aisne in World War I. Today, five national cemeteries are located in Soupir: two for France, and one each for Germany, the UK, and Italy.
