Haemogamasus is a genus of mites in the family Haemogamasidae. In North America, they mostly infect rodents, in addition to other small mammals such as shrews, talpids, and Virginia opossums.

An unidentified immature Haemogamasus has been found on the marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris) in Georgia.
