Latzelia is an extinct genus of scutigeromorph centipedes, and the type and only genus of the family Latzeliidae.

[1] It existed during the Carboniferous in what is now Illinois (found in Mazon Creek fossil beds).

[2] The genus name honors Austrian zoologist Robert Latzel.

[3] This centipede genus should not be confused with two invalid names applied to millipede genera: the first proposed Bollman in 1893 for a glomeridan species now in the genus Glomeridella, and the second by Verhoeff in 1895 for a genus of chordeumatidans now known as Verhoeffia.
