Leucinodes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1854.

Leucinodes species have been documented as eggplant fruit borers.[2][3][4] They are occasionally imported by accident from African and Asian countries and pose medium threats to Solanaceae crops.[5][6]
