Lahden Reipas was a sports club in Lahti, Finland. It was a successor to Viipurin Reipas, which had been forced to relocate from Vyborg after the Soviet takeover of the city. In spite of its move taking place in the 1940s, the club continued to be known as Viipurin Reipas until 1962.
The club's hockey section played five seasons in the top-level SM-sarja from 1965 to 1970. They were relegated to the Suomi-sarja after a last-place finish in 1969-70.
Their greatest success was a Finnish Cup championship in 1966. They defeated Tappara Tampere 8-6 in the final to claim the trophy.
The hockey section of Lahden Reipas became independent in 1975, forming Kiekko-Reipas.
