Papilio hesperus, the black and yellow swallowtail or Hesperus swallowtail, is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. It is found in Africa. It is monomorphic, meaning there is only one phenotype in the population of this species.^[4] The dorsal and ventral sides of its wings are practically identical due to the wing's translucence.^[5]

The larvae feed on Beilschmiedia species, including Beilschmiedia ugandensis.
