Cerautola crippsi is a butterfly in the Lycaenidae family. It is found in Uganda, Cameroon and Kenya.

The larvae are found on the bark of trees, usually in fairly open country. Although Crematogaster ants are always present, they do not appear to attend the larvae. The larvae probably feed on lichens.
