Eurytoma is a genus of parasitoid chalcid wasps in the family Eurytomidae. There are at least 620 described species in Eurytoma. However, both morphological and phylogenomic studies have shown that Eurytoma is a polyphyletic lineage, and extensive taxonomic rearrangements are needed in order to resolve this genus .
