Orthaltica is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 20 described species in Orthaltica. They are found in the Palearctic, North America, Indomalaya, and Australasia.[1][2][3][4]

In 2017, the name Orthalica was found to be a junior synonym of Aulacothorax, which has been available since 1858, and was formally placed in synonymy with it.[5]
