''Haemadipsa'' is a genus of leeches, with members commonly known as ''jawed land leeches''. These annelids are known from subtropical and tropical regions around the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Well-known ''Haemadipsa'' are for example the Indian Leech (''Haemadipsa sylvestris'') and the yamabiru or Japanese Mountain Leech (''Haemadipsa zeylanica''). Members of the genus feed on blood. They are troublesome to humans and animals especially because their bites result in prolonged bleeding.
