Hypogeophis is a genus of caecilians in the family Grandisoniidae.[1][2] The genus consists of seven species, all endemic to parts of the Seychelles Archipelago.[1][2][3]
Following phylogenetic analyses published in 2021, the former genus Grandisonia was folded into Hypogeophis as a junior synonym.[4][1]

The genus has seven recognized species:[1][2]
- Hypogeophis alternans Stejneger, 1893
- Hypogeophis brevis Boulenger, 1911
- Hypogeophis larvatus (Ahl, 1934)
- Hypogeophis montanus Maddock, Wilkinson, and Gower, 2018
