Chlaenius er en slekt av billene i delgruppen (underfamilien) Licininae i familiegruppen løpebiller.

Utseende Middelsstore (8-23 millimeter), litt brede, blanke eller halvblanke, mørke løpebiller, oftest med mer eller mindre tydelig, metallisk glans.

Levevis Artene er aktive rovdyr som gjerne finnes på fuktige steder, som myrer og sumper, noen er halv-akvatiske. De er nattaktive og kommer til lys. Artene skiller ut illeluktende forsvarsstoffer.

Utbredelse Slekten har flest arter i Afrika og Sørøst-Asia (rundt tre fjerdedeler av artene), men finnes også i Holarktis.
