'''''Oscheius''''' is a genus of nematode.

''O. tipulae'' is a satellite developmental genetic model organism used to study vulva formation.<ref>Polymorphism and evolution of vulval precursor cell lineages within two nematode genera, Caenorhabditis and Oscheius. M Delattre, MA Félix - Current Biology, 2001</ref>

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.<ref>The phylogenetic relationships of Caenorhabditis and other rhabditids.
