Teinopalpus aureus, the golden Kaiser-i-Hind, is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae. It is found in China and possibly Vietnam. Considered an endangered species threatened by the wildlife trade, it is protected by Chinese law. Species distribution models show that montane forests in mid to high elevations within Southern China, Laos, and Vietnam are suitable habitats of T. aureus. However, they have poorly connected habitat networks and many of these areas are facing deforestation and severe climate change effects.
