Sphyracephala is a genus of stalk-eyed flies in the family Diopsidae, with records from Africa, Europe, Asia and N. America.
Flies are commonly found on leaves and stem of trees and plants along streams and rivers. Very large clusters of Sphyracephala are known with clusters numbering over 100,000 individual flies, with roughly half being males.
This genus resembles the presumed extinct genus Prosphyracephala, known from Baltic amber.
