Cyclocynips is a genus of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae. [1] Species in this genus form galls on various Fagaceae in the Eastern Palearctic. The genus is named after its host association with oaks in the section Cyclobalanopsis. [1]

Species are currently only known from their asexual generation, and it is unknown whether members of this genus are heterogonic. [1]

Existing species have been reared from galls on Quercus longinux and Quercus glauca . [1]
