Suidasia is a genus of mites in the family Suidasiidae and clade Astigmatina.

== Description == The body of Suidasia mites has various patterns. If small rounded protuberances are present, these are coalescent and at least some are unequal. The dorsal surface is covered in smooth setae. The prodorsum has external vertical setae ve on the sides of the prodorsal sclerite and near the transverse level of setae vi. The supracoxal setae are lanceolate in shape and have fimbriate margins. The hysterosomal setae are short and do not reach the bases of next setae. On the ventral surface of the body, the anus is positioned near the pretarsal margin.
