Lupeni (German: Schylwolfsbach, Hungarian: Lupény) is a mining city in Hunedoara County, Romania with a population of 31,409.

The name is derived from Romanian "lup" meaning "wolf"

The mining industry once employed 80% of the workers in the city, but after the government subsidies were halted, it proved inefficient and much of it was closed down in 1997.
