Zapeć is a village in Croatia, under the Vrbovsko township, in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. As of its foundation on 3 March 2008, it belongs to the local committee [hr] of Plemenitaš.^[3] Ecclesiastically, it is under the Plemenitaš parish.

The village is named after a cave, "Peć", which has in turn taken on the name of the village as "Zapeć".^[4]: 6

There is a mill (45°28′37″N 15°05′01″E / 45.4770°N 15.0835°E / 45.4770; 15.0835) just south of Zapeć, opposite Dečina.

Ecclesiastically, Zapeć has belonged to the parish of Plemenitaš since its foundation in 1805, before which it was under Lukovdol, although its parish registers were in Stari Trg ob Kolpi until the construction of the present church in Plemenitaš in 1790.^[5]: 97

Zapeć has always been well-connected with the Slovene side of the river as well, and of all the villages on the Croatian side of the Predgrad-Radenci valley it saw the most marriages across the river.^[5]: 99

The sawmill of Dušan Vilhar was in function until 1968 and had customers on both sides of the river, after which business shifted to the sawmill in Blaževci.^{[5]: 94, 110}

The telephone lines were installed in 1981/1982 from Dol in Slovenia, so Zapeć ended up with a Ljubljana number along with Blaževci and Plemenitaš, contrasting with the rest of Vrbovsko municipality. Before the installation of telephone lines, one had to place a call at the telephone in the post office of Stari Trg.^[5]: 111

The Blaževci-Plemenitaš road, which passes through Zapeć, was asphalted in 1986.^[5]: 111

The local dialect is closely related to that of Blaževci, Zaumol, Plemenitaš, and Štefanci, belonging to the West Goranski dialect [hr].^[6]
