Sepsina is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae). The genus is endemic to southern Africa.
==Taxonomy== This genus is presently placed in the subfamily Scincinae, a subfamily which seems to be paraphyletic however. Sepsina belongs to a major clade of this group which does not seem to include the type genus Scincus. Thus, it will probably be eventually assigned to a new, yet-to-be-named subfamily.
