The Poaphilini are a tribe of moths in the Erebidae family.
Phylogenetic studies have shown that the tribe is most closely related to the Ophiusini tribe. Those studies indicate that the genera Achaea, Mimophisma, and Ophisma belong in the Poaphilini despite formerly being classified in the Ophiusini.
