Vēršupīte (also Ķemerupe, Vēršupe) is a river in Latvia, a tributary of Vecslocene in the northwest of Zemgale. According to some sources, the source of the river is from the Kubuliņa pond in the south of Ozolpils and the upstream is called Stirnupīte, but according to another – from the ditch system in the forest southeast of Smārde. The river flows through the counties of Tukums and Engure and downstream through the city of Jūrmala. It crosses the territory of the Ķemeru National Park and receives the waters of the northern part of the Ķemeru-Smārde moor. Mineral waters used by Ķemeri spas flow out on the banks of Vēršupīte. The river is crossed three times by the A10 road, and near Ķemeri by the Riga-Ventspils railway. The largest tributaries are the Lūzņu grāvis and Stirnupīte.
