Callidium violaceum, commonly known as the violet tanbark beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
It is a medium-sized (8–16 mm), broad, black longhorn beetle, with wing covers that have a blue-violet metallic sheen, making the species easy to recognize. Callidium aeneum looks similar but has a green metallic sheen. The antennae are about half the length of the body. The pronotum is wider than long, with rounded sides, coarsely punctured, and with fairly long, erect, dark hairs. The wing covers are coarsely and densely punctured, but not wrinkled, with short hairs and a distinct metallic shine. The legs are black, the thighs slightly thickened, otherwise slender.
