Typhlomyrmex is a genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae. Known from the Neotropics, the genus has a wide distribution. Some species are restricted in range, while for example Typhlomyrmex rogenhoferi is known from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Little is known about their biology. The name "Typhlomyrmex" means "blind ant", as this genus contains only blind ants. Previously classified under the monotypic tribe Typhlomyrmecini, it was merged into Ectatommini in 2022.
