Lampeln or Lampln is an old Bavarian and Austrian plain-trick card game that is still played in a few places today. It is one of the Rams group of card games characterised by allowing players to drop out of the current game if they think they will be unable to win any tricks or a minimum number of tricks.

Historically, Lampeln was banned in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1904 as a game of chance usually played for money; this ban was confirmed by the Austrian government in 1933.

The game was played by Bavarian peasants in the 19th century alongside Handeln, Grasobern, Zwicken and Hopfen, and by Bavarian troops in the First World War and, today, Lampeln is still played in the Austrian states of Salzburg and Upper Austria as well as in Old Bavaria, Germany (Upper Bavaria, Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate). In 2017, volunteer firemen at the fire station in Schäflohe claimed to be the only ones in the province of Upper Palatinate who played Lampeln.

The name is derived from lampeln (Bavarian: lambben) which means lambing, because players who fail to take the minimum two tricks are called 'lambs'.

To take as many tricks as possible, but in any case a minimum of two to avoid a penalty.

The Austrian variant of Lampeln is more complicated that its Bavarian counterpart. Its distinguishing feature is 'hop and jump', whereby the role of dealer may switch to another player as a result of the cut and further contributions are paid to build up the pot more rapidly, which gives this variant more of a gambling flavour. In this respect it resembles Kratzen and Zwicken.

The game is usually played with 32 cards from a 36-card Tell pattern pack. The Seven of Bells is permanently the second highest trump and is nicknamed the Belli.

The first dealer of a session is the youngest player. Thereafter the role of dealer rotates clockwise. The hand begins with the dealer paying an ante of 40 euro cents to the pot (Stock or Kassa) and shuffling the pack.
