Dirhinus is a genus of parasitic wasps in the family Chalcididae. The genus has a worldwide distribution.
These chalcids are parasitoids of flies; most of the host species are flies that develop in vertebrate corpses, and many are associated with humans (Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae and Muscidae). Flies from the Tephritidae and Glossinidae are also parasitized.
