Odynerus is a primarily Holarctic genus of potter wasps.
The name of this genus has been widely used as a root to construct many other genus-level names for potter wasps with non-petiolated metasoma, such as Euodynerus, Acarodynerus, Stenodynerus, Parodontodynerus and Incodynerus.
A partial species list of the hundreds of species classified under Odynerus is set out below:
