Euglenids or euglenoids are one of the best-known groups of eukaryotic flagellates: single-celled organisms with flagella, or whip-like tails. They are classified in the phylum Euglenozoa, class Euglenida or Euglenoidea. Euglenids are commonly found in fresh water, especially when it is rich in organic materials, but they have a few marine and endosymbiotic members. Many euglenids feed by phagocytosis, or strictly by diffusion. A monophyletic subgroup known as Euglenophyceae have chloroplasts and produce their own food through photosynthesis. This group contains the carbohydrate paramylon.

Eugleniny, klejnotki (Euglenophyta, Euglenida) – takson glonów ze względów morfologicznych włączanych do nieformalnej grupy wiciowców. Grupa protistów z kladu Euglenozoa obejmującego zarówno protisty w dawnych systemach określane jako zwierzęce, jak i roślinne. Są to jednokomórkowe organizmy wodne, w większości wolno żyjące. Od pozostałych przedstawicieli Euglenozoa odróżniające się obecnością pelikuli zbudowanej z białkowych pasków, często zdolne do fotosyntezy.
