Wallengrenia otho, the southern broken dash, is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family.

Strays can be found as far north as central Missouri, northern Kentucky and Delaware. The wingspan is 24–35 mm. Adults are on wing from April to October in two generations (sometimes a partial third) in most of North America. In peninsular Florida and southern Texas, adults are on wing all year round.
