Leptadapis is an extinct genus of adapiform primate that lived in Europe during the middle Eocene. Fossils of the genus have been found in the Escanilla Formation of Spain, at the sites of La Bouffie and Perrière in France, and at Egerkingen in Switzerland.

Palaeobiology

Dental microwear of Leptadapis magnus from La Bouffie, a closed canopy tropical rainforest, shows that its dietary habit was a mixture of folivory and frugivory. In the more open woodland of Perrière, however, L. magnus strictly fed on leaves.
