Conidiobolus is a genus of fungi in the order Entomophthorales. Some species were initially defined in Conidiobolus but then moved into other genera such as Capillidium and Batkoa.

The genus name Conidiobolus was first introduced in 1884 by Brefeld and was proposed due to differences in its conidia.
