Agriades is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.

Its species are found in temperate Asia, Europe, and North America.

As a result of studies of molecular phylogenetics, Agriades has been enlarged to include some of the species that used to be placed in Albulina (see the orbitulus species-group below) and in Vacciniina (see the optilete species-group).

[1] In some earlier classifications, these three genera used to be included in Plebejus.
