Neolepisorus is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[2]
Neolepisorus was first described by Ren-Chang Ching in 1940.[1] 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:[3]
Lepisorus s.l.Lepidomicrosorium + Neocheiropteris + Neolepisorus + Tricholepidium
Lepisorus s.s.

As of February 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species:[1]
As of February 2020, Plants of the World Online did not accept the genus, sinking it into Neocheiropteris,[4] although placing some of its species in Microsorum.[5]
