Dolichopus lepidus is a species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Palearctic.
The name Dolichopus lepidus was declared a nomen protectum, so it has precedence over the senior synonym Dolichopus tibialis (a nomen oblitum).
Dolichopus microstigma <small>Stackelberg, 1930</small> was originally described as a variation of D. lepidus, and was later considered a subspecies of the species, but it is now considered a separate species.
