Burnsius is a genus of New World checkered-skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae.

The genus was erected by Nick V. Grishin in 2019.

As a result of a 2019 study of the genomes of 250 representative species of skippers, the genus Burnsius was created to contain 12 related species formerly in the genus Pyrgus.
