Sutlepa (Swedish: Sutlep, Estonian Swedish: Sutlop) is a village in Lääne-Nigula Parish, Lääne Count, in western Estonia.

In 1507, the village was referred to as Sutloppe, Szutloppe, and in 1540, Sutelep. The name is Estonian in origin, and means either "Wolves' End" or "Wolves' Alder", derived from the words "sute" (wolves) and either "lõpp" (end) or "lepp" (alder).

Wooden Sutlepa chapel from the 17th century was moved to Estonian Open Air Museum in Tallinn in 1970.
