Leptoporus is a genus of polypore fungi. The type species, Leptoporus mollis, is widespread throughout north temperate areas.^[1] The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek words λεπτός ("thin") and πόρος ("pore").^[2]

Although traditionally classified in the family Polyporaceae,^[1] recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Leptoporus in the Irpicaceae.^[3]^[4]
