Platyomus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils (subfamily Entiminae) in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. Among its subfamily, this genus belongs to tribe Naupactini. There are more than 40 described species in Platyomus.
Some members of this genus are remarkably similar to certain species of the broad-nosed weevil genera Cydianerus and Rhigus, which belong to the Entiminae tribe Entimini.
