'''''Colaspina''''' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, '''''Colaspina saportae''''', known from Spain and southern France (Provence). The species was first described from Aix-en-Provence in 1863 by Auguste Jean François Grenier, who dedicated it to the Marquess of Saporta. It has recently been suggested that ''Colaspina'' is possibly a sister genus to both ''Chalcosicya'' and Mediterranean ''Colaspidea'' combined.<ref name="Flowers2012">{{cite journal|last=Flowers|first=R.
