Batepá is a village on São Tomé Island in São Tomé and Príncipe. Its population is 775 (2012 census). It lies 2 km west of Trindade and 2 km east of Monte Café. It was the starting point of the Batepá massacre, a brutally crushed rebellion in February 1953, in which hundreds of local inhabitants were killed.
