Contarinia is a genus of midges, small flies in the family Cecidomyiidae. There are over 300 described species in the genus.

== Description == As cecidomyiids, adult Contarinia are flies with hairy wings and long antennae. Males have antennal flagellomeres equally binodose, with each node surrounded by one circumfilum. The palpi are four-segmented. The tarsal claws of the legs are simple. The wing costal vein is interrupted after its union with the radius or third vein.
