Gnophos is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). A mostly Old World lineage, it is abundant in the Palearctic, with some North American species as well; in Europe 6 species are recorded. This genus has about 120 known species altogether in several recognized subgenera, with new ones still being discovered occasionally.[2]

This is the type genus of the tribe Gnophini in subfamily Ennominae, which some authors include in the Boarmiini.
