Mārupe ( German Marienbach ) is a south-western suburb of the city of Riga in Latvia and the center of the district of the same name (Mārupes novads), which emerged from the municipality in 2009 without changing its territory. In 2015 Mārupe had a population of around 11,000.
There are extensive wetlands in the municipality. The peat produced in these swamps is extracted on a large scale for some German hardware stores.
