Sphaerophoria beattiei is a species of hoverfly belonging to the genus Sphaerophoria.

It is endemic to the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic.

[1] It was originally considered the only member of the genus Loveridgeana[1] but was found to be nested within Sphaerophoria in a DNA based phylogenetic analysis, along with three other species found in South Africa.

[2] Almost nothing is known of its biology other than it pollinated now extinct flora on Saint Helena including the Saint Helena olive.
