"Brettus" is a genus of jumping spiders. Its name comes from the Greek, βρεττυς, meaning one who does not fight. Its six described species are found in southern Asia from India to China and Sulawesi, with a single species endemic to Madagascar.

Two species in this genus, "B. celebensis" and "B. madagascarensis", were originally described as members of the genus "Macopaeus". [World Spider Catalog]
