Bathybembix is a genus of deep-water sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Calliotropidae.
This genus was originally called Bembix by Robert B. Watson (, but as this was a junior homonym of Bembix Fabricius, 1775 [Hymenoptera], it was declared invalid. It was renamed in 1893 by Crosse as Bathybembix
