Luppitt is a village and civil parish in East Devon situated about 4 miles (6 km) due north of Honiton.
St Mary's church, Luppitt, is a Grade I listed building. The font is probably Norman but may be late Anglo-Saxon; the bowl is covered with elaborate sculpture and the east face features a martyrdom.
The historian William Harris was preacher at the village's Presbyterian chapel from 1741 to 1770.
Towards the end of his life, the painter Robert Polhill Bevan (1865-1925) had a cottage called Marlpits on Luppitt Common, in which he painted a number of views of the neighbourhood.
The Luppitt Inn is a public house on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
