Koupéla is a city in Burkina Faso, lying east of Ouagadougou (Script error: No such module "convert".) and west of Fada-Ngourma (Script error: No such module "convert".) in an area settled by the Mossi people. It is known for its pottery and sculptures; these were made from natural clays found in the area.
