'''''Plebejus''''' is a [[genus]] of [[butterflies]] in the family [[Lycaenidae]].
'''''Plebejus''''' (also spelled '''''Plebeius''''') is a genus of [[butterfly]] in the family [[Lycaenidae]]. Many genera formerly considered independent are at least tentatively included here nowadays, and some others&mdash;''[[Agriades]]'', ''[[Albulina]]'', ''[[Icaricia]]'', ''[[Aricia (genus)|Aricia]]'', and ''[[Lycaeides]]''&mdash;may belong herein too. The species of this genus are found in the [[Palearctic realm|Palearctic]] and [[Nearctic realm|Nearctic]] realms.
Its species are found in the [[Palearctic realm|Palearctic]] and [[Nearctic realm|Nearctic]] realms.

As a result of studies of [[molecular phylogenetics]], numerous species that were included in ''Plebejus'' by some authors at the beginning of the 21st century have now been moved to separate genera again. These species may be found in ''[[Afarsia]]'', ''[[Alpherakya]]'', ''[[Agriades]]'', ''[[Aricia (butterfly)|Aricia]]'', ''[[Eumedonia]]'', ''[[Icaricia]]'', ''[[Kretania]]'', ''[[Maurus (butterfly)|Maurus]]'', ''[[Pamiria]]'', ''[[Patricius (butterfly)|Patricius]]'', ''[[Plebejidea]]'', ''[[Plebulina]]'', and ''[[Rueckbeilia]]''.
