Zohrana is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.^[3] It is known from Africa. It is also sometimes known as Zohranus.

The genus was originally named Liniscus by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885; however, this name was preoccupied by LiniscusDujardin, 1844 (a nematode genus), so it was renamed to Zohrana by N. A. Aslam in 1968.
