Kopec (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkopɛts]; German: Hemmehübel) is a village and administrative part of Staré Křečany in Děčín District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. According to the 2021 Czech census, it has 18 inhabitants and 23 buildings.

Before World War II, it was a mostly German-speaking, thriving village with hundreds of inhabitants, several mills, multiple ponds, restaurants, guesthouses and a shop. Now, Kopec is mostly a destination for tourists, as it is very close to the Bohemian Switzerland National Park and the Saxon Switzerland National Park.

The Czech name Kopec means 'hill'. It is derived from the original German name "Hemmehübel", which combines the words hemmen ('to break') and Hübel (a regional term for a hill). The name Hemmehübel was used until 1947. Since then, only the Czech name Kopec has been officially used.

Until World War II, the entire village and region were almost entirely German-speaking. In the 19th century, the population reached over 400 people, but it gradually declined. After World War II, the German-speaking population was expelled. As a result, the village was almost abandoned, the mills stopped operating, ponds ceased to exist, and nearly half of the buildings were lost due to abandonment and lack of maintenance. Now, compared to the pre-war era, the population is low.
