Tuxentius cretosus, the savanna pied Pierrot, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae.

It is found in Senegal, the Gambia, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda and Kenya.

It differs from Tuxentius calice gregorii (Butler, 1894) thus: Marginal band of the forewing above irregular with 1 to 4 distinctly prominent white spots.

Submarginal line of the forewing beneath entirely coherent, not interrupted by the light veins.

The larval host plant also serves as the nectar source for the adults.
