Chrysolina es un género de coleópteros polífagos de la familia Chrysomelidae que incluye numerosas especies.

Las especies C. cerealis y C. graminis están protegidas en el Reino Unido. Todas las especies de Chrysolina son herbívoras, especialistas de ciertas plantas (planta nutricia) y algunos se usan como controles biológicos de malezas. Chrysolina hyperici fue introducida con éxito en Australia en 1930 para controlar a hipérico (Hypericum perforatum).[1][2]​ También se la usa con este fin en los Estados Unidos. Otras, especialmente C. quadrigemina, han sido introducidas en California en la década de 1940.[3][4][5][6][2]
