Coptodera is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, constituted of 105 species^[1] distributed across North and South America, Africa, Oceania and eastern Asia.

They are small flattened beetles. The body size is usually under 11 mm and pronotum is generally wider than long. Many of them present patches or spots of different colours on the elytra.

A single fossil species of this genus has been described: Coptodera elektra, from Europe's Eocene, was described in 2015 from a single piece of Baltic amber.^[2]
