Abstract: We compute the elliptic genera of orbifolds associated with $N=2$ super--conformal theories which admit a Landau-Ginzburg description. The identification of the elliptic genera of the macroscopic Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds with those of the corresponding microscopic $N=2$ orbifolds further supports the conjectured identification of these theories. For $SU(N)$ Kazama-Suzuki models the orbifolds are associated with certain $I{Z}_p$ subgroups of the various coset factors. Based on our approach we also conjecture the existence of "$E$-type" variants of these theories, their elliptic genera and the corresponding Landau-Ginzburg potentials.
