Ospriocerus vallensis is a species of robber fly in the family Asilidae, first described by Martin in 1968. It is one of three Ospriocerus species recorded in Canada, where it occurs in the Intermontane grasslands of southern British Columbia. The species was previously misidentified in collections and literature as O. abdominalis or O. aeacus. The genus Ospriocerus has a documented relationship with the beetle family Meloidae.
