Omorgus is a genus of beetles of the family Trogidae.

Its species occur mostly in Africa and South America, although some species are found north to Canada, others in Australia or Asia.

Only two species are found in Europe (and neither is endemic): O. italicus is found in Italy, as well as India and China, and O. suberosus occurs in Spain, but also in the Americas and Australia.
