Schizidium is a genus of woodlice, found from Greece to Iran.
== Description == It has a convex body, and is capable of volvation (rolling into a ball) without leaving fissures. It has small eyes with several ocelli. Its telson is triangular and its uropods are similar to those of Armadillidium. The first joint of the antenna is remarkably small, being only about half as long as the second.
