Eretes is a genus of beetles in the family Dytiscidae. The genus is native to the Afro-tropical region, the Palearctic (including Europe), the Near East, North Africa and the Asian region.
A 2002 revision of the genus established four species. Species of this genus are variable in size and color, and individuals of a given species can be varied in appearance as well, so the morphology of the male genitalia is used to delimit species.
