Calliptamus is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. Species of Calliptamus are found in Africa and the northern Palearctic realm (mainland Europe not including Scandinavia) through to Japan.
The genus Calliptamus contains swarming orthopterans that cause serious damage in Algerian agricultural systems. However, it remains difficult to identify species within this genus; a thorough understanding of the group's systematics and the utilization of novel taxonomic criteria are needed.
