Aphanogmus is a genus of wasps in the family Ceraphronidae that was erected by Carl Gustaf Thomson in 1858. Belgian entomologist Paul Dessart worked on the genus in the 1970's. They are primarily parasitoids of Ichneumonoidea and Cecidomyiidae, although one is a known parasite of Ochrotrichia moselyi, a caddisfly.

At least 90 species belong to the genus:
