Harpendyreus is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
Small butterflies (wingspan 17–24 millimetres) with rounded wings without a tail at the back. The upper parts of the males are bright blue to reddish-violet, often with a small, black spot at the hind corner of the hindwing. The underparts are reddish-brown with slightly darker transverse bands, but without black spots.
