Neoeplingia is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, first described in 1982. It contains only one known species, Neoeplingia leucophylloides, endemic to the State of Hidalgo in central Mexico.[1]

Neoeplingia leucophylloides has been transferred to the genus Lepechinia, and is now known as Lepechinia leucophylloides.[1][2][3]
