Trapčin Dol (Macedonian: Трапчин Дол, Albanian: Trapçidoll) is a village in the municipality of Kičevo, North Macedonia.
During the period of 1912-1913, chetnik forces led by Mikajle Brodski along with locals from Raštani, massacred a total of 9 Albanians from the village. The village avoided larger attacks from Chetnik forces through the actions of the krypeplak (village elder) Shukri Asani, who gathered the riches of the villagers and paid a tribute to voivode Mikajle. After the capture of the village by Partisan forces in 1944, 12 Albanian men were executed by the incoming communist forces.[1]
