Compsus auricephalus, the golden-headed weevil, is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae.^[2] It is native and fairly widespread across the southern U.S.A., extending through Central America in Guatemala and Mexico.^[1]

There are two color morphs of Compsus auricephalus: predominantly green with pink/coppery head and part of the legs, or completely white to pale brown.

The status, variation, distribution, and biological information about the species was revised in 2020.^[3]
