Thymelicus is a genus in the skipper butterfly family, Hesperiidae. It is presently the only member of the tribe Thymelini, but many skipper butterflies are yet to be assigned to tribes, so this might change eventually.
Examples of Thymelicus species:
- Essex Skipper, Thymelicus lineola
- Lulworth Skipper, Thymelicus acteon
- Small Skipper, Thymelicus sylvestris
