Heliophanus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Most of the about ninety described species occur in Europe, while reaching into Asia and Africa.

Many former African species in this genus were transferred to other genera such as Helafricanus, Heliocapensis and Trapezocephalus by Wanda Wesolowska in 2024.
