Ceryx is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.

It was described by Hans Daniel Johan Wallengren in 1863.

[1][2][3] The genus was circumscribed in 2022 such that it only contains Afro-tropical species; many former Ceryx species were transferred to the then-revalidated Agaphthora.

[2] These changes are not (yet) universally adopted[3] and the list of species below does not reflect them.
