Lepisorus is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).

Taxonomy

Lepisorus was first described by John Smith in 1846 as the section Lepisorus of the genus Drynaria. It was raised from a section to a genus by Ren-Chang Ching in 1933. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that Lepisorus was one of a group of closely related genera in the subfamily Microsoroideae, a group the authors termed "Lepisorus sensu lato".
