I Mecotteri (Mecoptera) sono un ordine di Insetti terrestri, talora acquatici negli stadi preimmaginali, alati, meiotteri o atteri, di medie dimensioni, con livree di colori generalmente modesti ed esoscheletro poco consistente. Sono olometaboli ritenuti più primitivi dei Neurotteri, e considerati alla base dei processi evolutivi che conducono a Tricotteri, Lepidotteri, Ditteri ed Afanitteri. L'ordine, di cui sono stati rinvenuti rappresentanti fossili dell'ordine a partire dal Permiano inferiore, raccoglie poco più di 400 specie descritte, organizzate in 3 sottordini ed 7 famiglie.
