Capelio is a genus of flowering plant in the Asteraceae first described as a genus in 1836 with the name Alciope. It was renamed Capelio in 2002 after it was determined that the name Alciope was not legitimately published according to international nomenclatural rules.

The entire genus is endemic to Cape Province in South Africa.
