Tachinomyia is a genus of tachinid flies (family Tachinidae) in the tribe Exoristini. The genus was established by Townsend in 1892 and contains approximately 10 described species distributed primarily in North America. Adults are medium-sized flies with distinctive morphological features including prominent orange tarsal pads in males and a dense white facial beard (mystax). Larvae are parasitoids, though specific host relationships remain poorly documented for most species.
