Allopathes is a genus of corals in the family Antipathidae.

Its polyps are arranged in a single row that run the length of the coral.

[2] This genus was initially a subgenus of Cirrhipathes and Stichopathes, although it also displayed similarities to Antipathes verticillata.

However, the presence of branched growth forms excludes it from Stichopathes or Cirrhipathes and the unique morphology of its spines meant that it could not be included in Allopathes.

[2] The name comes from the Greek "allos-", meaning "other" and "-pathes", referring to its taxonomic relationship to other genera in Antipathidae.
