Oxyphlaeobella is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Acrididae, subfamily Acridinae. Species can be found in southern China and Indo-China.
The head is narrow and pointed with the fastigium slightly longer than wide. The head, pronotum, and rear of the abdomen are heavily wrinkled. It differs from Chlorophlaeoba in the shape of its forewings and fastigium.
The genus was formally described by German entomologist Willy Ramme in 1940. The type species is a male Oxyphlaeobella rugosa, collected at an elevation of 2,800 m (9,200 ft) above sea level on Mt. Victoria (Nat Ma Taung) of the Chin Hills range in Myanmar.
