'''''Eurypelta''''' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from India.<ref name="Jacoby1908">{{cite book|last=Jacoby|first=M.|year=1908|editor-last=Bingham|editor-first=C. T.|title=Coleoptera. Chrysomelidae. Vol. 1|url=https://archive.org/details/coleopterachryso00jacoiala|series=The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma|publisher=Taylor & Francis|place=London}}</ref>
The genus was originally named ''Euraspis'' by Félicien Chapuis in 1874. However, the name was determined to be a spelling error of ''Euryaspis'', which was preoccupied by the beetle genus ''Euryaspis'' Blanchard, 1851, so Chapuis's genus was renamed to ''Eurypelta'' by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885.<ref name="Lefevre1885"/>
