Calycopis is a genus of butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. Massively split up by K. Johnson in 1991, most modern authors consider the changes proposed at that time to be unjustified. The members (species) of this genus are found in the Neotropic ecozone (most) and the Nearctic ecozone.

Species include:

• Calycopis cecrops – Red-banded Hairstreak

Several proposed species are of doubtful validity.
