Angraecopsis is a genus of plant in family Orchidaceae. It was first described by Fritz Kraenzlin in 1900 and given its name on account with the genus' similarity to Angraecum species. Angraecopsis are endemic to Africa and nearby islands. The growth habit is rather small and the leaves emerge from a woody stem.
