Xpujil is a town in the Mexican state of Campeche. It serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality of Calakmul.

Xpujil is located in the south-east of the state, close to the border with Quintana Roo. With Escárcega, Campeche, 153 km to the west and Chetumal, Quintana Roo, 120 km to the east, it is a useful midway point on Federal Highway 186. Close to the town are the Maya ruins of Xpuhil (1 km) and Becan (8 km), and further to the south-west is the major Maya site of Calakmul, in the 7,230 km² Calakmul Biosphere Reserve.

In addition to providing services for the local community, Xpujil serves as the gateway for tourists visiting those areas, with restaurants, transportation services, modest hotels, etc.

XEPUJ, a government-run indigenous community radio station that broadcasts in Spanish, Yucatec Maya and Ch'ol, is based in Xpujil.
