Ceratophaga is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae. The genus name comes from Ancient Greek κέρας (kéras), meaning 'horn', and φάγος (phágos), meaning 'eater'. Sixteen species are currently recognised, widespread in the Afrotropical realm and Asia. In the Americas one species has been described: Ceratophaga vicinella, which occurs in the southeastern United States. Twelve of the known species occur in Africa, and of those Ceratophaga vastella is perhaps the best-known.
