Badister is a genus of ground beetle in the family Carabidae native to North Africa, the Near East, and the Holarctic, including Europe.
In Ireland, Badister species are mostly confined to the south and west but no further north than midland counties, although the species number matches British and exceeds the Scandinavian totals.
