Lycaena bleusei, the Iberian sooty copper, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae, subfamily Lycaeninae.

Compared to Lycaena tityrus it is brighter above, with stronger yellow variegation, and the hindwing has a short triangular tail and a strong blue sheen on the upperside.

The black spots of the forewing stand out strikingly against a bright tawny (fauve) ground colour in the female.

[1] The butterfly flies from late March to November, depending on the location.

Populations of this species are found chiefly in central Spain and Central-northern Portugal, where the species is a specialist of meadows which tend to dry out during the summer, contrary to its sister species Lycaena tityrus[2]
