Oscheius is a genus of nematode.

O. tipulae is a satellite developmental genetic model organism used to study vulva formation.^[7]

In phylogenetic studies, based on the analysis of sequences of three nuclear genes, Oscheius groups with Caenorhabditis species and the Diploscapter , Protorhabditis and Prodontorhabditis 'Protorhabditis' group, all included in the 'Eurhabditis' group of Rhabditidae genera.^[8]
