Burnsius is a genus of New World checkered-skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. The genus was erected by Nick V. Grishin in 2019.
As a result of a 2019 study of the genomes of 250 representative species of skippers, the genus Burnsius was created to contain 12 related species formerly in the genus Pyrgus. As of 2022, there were 14 species in Burnsius.
