Sorothaptic (sorotáptico, sorotàptic, from Greek σορός sorós 'funerary urn' and θαπτός thaptós 'buried') is a name coined by Joan Coromines for the hypothetical language of the presumably Indo-European, but pre-Celtic, 1000 BC people of the Urnfield culture in the Iberian Peninsula.

Coromines used the concept of Sorothaptic to explain problematic words in the Iberian Romance languages. He identified the language with inscriptions on lead tablets, ca. 2nd century CE, found at Amélie-les-Bains on the Catalan–French border; these include some Latin but also a non-Latin and non-Celtic component that Coromines believed to be Sorothaptic.[1][2][3] Coromines identifies them with the Urnfield culture from a millennium earlier, claiming to have found such "Sorothaptic" place names across Europe.[2] Like the better-known Vasconic substrate hypothesis, Coromines' Sorothaptic hypothesis has not been well received.[4]: 313
