'''''Miramella''''' is a small genus of short-horned grasshoppers in the subfamily Melanoplinae. They are found in Europe and eastern Asia. {{As of|January 2019}}, Orthoptera Species File lists seven species in three subgenera.<ref name=OSF/> The genus was first named in 1932.<ref name=dz1932/> ''Miramella'' is the type genus of the subtribe Miramellina (Acrididae: Melanoplinae: Podismini).<ref name=OSF/><ref name=vick1977/>

Species in the genus ''Mirabella'' occur in a variety of habitats, with some found at up to {{cvt|2800|m}} above sea level in the Swiss alps, including alpine, subalpine, montane, and submontane meadows.<ref name=kral2018/> The conservation status of three species have been assessed on the IUCN Red List—''Miramella carinthiaca'', ''M. irena'', and ''M. alpina''. They are each listed as species of "least concern".<ref name=iucnsearch/>
