Neolepisorus is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).
Taxonomy
Neolepisorus was first described by Ren-Chang Ching in 1940. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that Neolepisorus was one of a group of closely related genera in the subfamily Microsoroideae, a group the authors termed "Lepisorus sensu lato". It species were embedded in a clade in which none of the genera appeared to be monophyletic:
{{clade
|label1=Lepisorus s.l.
|1={{clade
|1={{clade
|1=Lemmaphyllum
|2=Lepidomicrosorium + Neocheiropteris + Neolepisorus + Tricholepidium
}}
|2={{clade
|1=Lepisorus s.s.
|2=Paragramma (as Lepisorus longifolius)
}}

{{As of|2020|February}}, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species:
- Neolepisorus fortunei (T.Moore) Li Wang
- Neolepisorus pappei (Mett. ex Kuhn) Li Wang
- Neolepisorus zippelii (Blume) Li Wang
{{As of|2020|February}}, Plants of the World Online did not accept the genus, sinking it into Neocheiropteris, although placing some of its species in Microsorum.
