Anhembi virus (AMBV) is a species of virus. It was initially considered a strain of Wyeomyia virus, belonging serologically to the Bunyamwera serogroup of bunyaviruses. In 2018 it was made its own species. It was isolated from the rodent - Proechimys iheringi - and a mosquito - Phoniomyia pilicauda - in São Paulo, Brazil.

Until 2001 this virus has not been reported to cause disease in humans.{{cite book|last=Mahy|first=Brian W J|title=A dictionary of virology|url=https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofviro0000mahy|url-access=registration|date=2001|publisher=Academic Press|location=San Diego, Calif.
