Aponomma is a subgenus of Amblyomma, a genus of hard ticks.

Prior to 2002, Aponomma was a full rank genus of eyeless, primarily reptile ticks. The genus was fragmented in 1972, with the proposal of three distinct groups. In 1999, nuclear rDNA analysis confirmed that the genus was paraphyletic, and following this finding, the genus was redistributed. The taxon remains as a subgenus, grouping together eyeless Amblyomma.
