Graphops is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 19 described species in Graphops, all from North America. ^{[4] [5] [6] [7]} Most species have limited flight capabilities, due to poorly developed wings, ^[8] and at least one species is known to be flightless. ^[9]

According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Typophorini instead of Adoxini. ^{[7] [4]}
