Pañcakulyavāpaka (पञ्चकुल्यवापक) is the name of a locality mentioned in the Gupta inscription No. 37. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The Dāmodarpur Copper Plate Inscription of the time of Bhānugupta (No. 37) records that one kulyavāpa of land was purchased to the north of Pañcakulyavāpaka.

Literally Pañcakulyavāpaka means “a plot of land five kulyavāpas in area”: It seems to refer to a village or locality comprising five kulyavāpas of land.
