'''Cubispini''' is a tribe of leaf beetles from the Neotropical realm. It is classified within either the Eumolpinae or the Cassidinae. It was established by Francisco Monrós in 1954 to contain the genus ''Cubispa'', which was originally placed in the subfamily Hispinae (now included in Cassidinae), in the tribe Cephaloleini. A second genus, ''Lobispa'', was described and placed in the tribe by C.L. Staines in 2001.<ref name="Staines2001">{{cite journal|first=C.

According to Borowiec & Świętojańska (2014), the placement of the tribe Cubispini and the genus ''Cubispa'' is still uncertain, and they prefer to exclude ''Cubispa'' from Eumolpinae and retain it in Cassidinae.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Lech|last1=Borowiec|first2=Jolanta|last2= Świętojańska|year=2014|chapter=2.7.2 Cassidinae Gyllenhal, 1813|pages=198–217|editor-last1=Leschen|editor-first1=R.A.B.|editor-last2=Beutel|editor-first2=R.G.|title=Handbook of Zoology.
