Feylinia is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae). It is usually placed in the monotypic subfamily Feylininae.
However, it appears to be not as distinct as formerly presumed, but rather somewhat closer to such genera as Chalcides and Sepsina. These are usually placed in the subfamily Scincinae, which seems to be paraphyletic however.
