Palaeopsychops is an extinct genus of lacewing in the moth lacewings family Ithonidae. The genus is known from Early Eocene fossils found in Europe, and North America and is composed of ten species. When first described, the genus was placed in the family Psychopsidae, but later was moved to Polystoechotidae, now considered part of the moth lacewings.
