Kipp is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada that is under the jurisdiction of Lethbridge County. It is approximately 29km (18miles) northwest of Lethbridge between Highway 3 and a Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line.

Kipp originally began as a trading post called Fort Kipp, which was named after American whiskey trader Joe Kipp.[1] Although not at the same location as the fort, Kipp takes its name from Fort Kipp.
