Charippus is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family, Salticidae. Its only described species, Charippus errans, is endemic to Burma.

The species was described from a single male in 1895. Thorell put it close to Euophrys. A redescription of this male, together with drawings of pedipalp, chelicerae and habitus, was provided by Fred Wanless in 1988.^[1]

The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek Χάριππος, (literally, "graceful rider"), according to Thorell taken from Persian mythology.
