Statue de Hopocan (Captain Pipe) à Barberton (Ohio)

Captain Pipe (Hopocan) (né entre 1725 et 1740 - mort vers 1818 à Orestes (Indiana) était un chef des indiens Delaware (Lenape), membre du clan du Loup.

Les Lenape ne donnaient que rarement leur vrai nom, l'usage de surnoms était courant. Le vrai nom de Captain Pipe était Konieschquanoheel (qui se traduit par "Faiseur de lumière"). Son surnom était Hopocan qui signifie "pipe à tabac" - d'où son nom entré dans l'histoire, lors de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis, de Captain Pipe.
