Kipp is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada that is under the jurisdiction of Lethbridge County.{{AltaML}} It is approximately {{convert|29|km|mi}} northwest of Lethbridge between Highway 3 and a Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) line.
Kipp originally began as a trading post called Fort Kipp, which was named after American whiskey trader Joe Kipp.{{cite book | last1=Mardon | first1=E.G. | last2=Mardon | first2=A. | title=Community Place Names of Alberta | publisher=Golden Meteorite Press | series=Heritage Collection | year=2010 | isbn=978-1-897472-17-0 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jbIYAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA189 | access-date=2021-05-02}} Although not at the same location as the fort, Kipp takes its name from Fort Kipp.
