Myrmecridium is a genus of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes. It was circumscribed in 2007 and is distinguished from similar fungi by having entirely hyaline (translucent) vegetative hyphae and widely scattered, pimple-shaped denticles (toothlike projections) on the long hyaline rachis. The generic name derives from a combination of the Ancient Greek word "myrmekia", meaning "wart", and the suffix "-ridium" from "Chloridium" (a genus of Fungi in the family Chaetosphaeriaceae).

Order Myrmecridiales and family Myrmecridiaceae was established to accommodate genus Myrmecridium which was previously placed in subclass Hypocreomycetidae, genera incertae sedis (Crous et al. 2015, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016).
