Asaccharobacter is a bacterial genus from the family of Coriobacteriaceae.{{cite journal|title=Asaccharobacter|website=www.uniprot.org|url=https://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/553372}} Up to now there is only one species of this genus known (Asaccharobacter celatus).

In 2018, Nouioui et al. proposed merging the genus Asaccharobacter within the genus Aldercreutzia based on observed clustering of these genera within phylogenetic trees.{{Cite journal|last1=Nouioui|first1=Imen|last2=Carro|first2=Lorena|last3=García-López|first3=Marina|last4=Meier-Kolthoff|first4=Jan P.|last5=Woyke|first5=Tanja|last6=Kyrpides|first6=Nikos C.|last7=Pukall|first7=Rüdiger|last8=Klenk|first8=Hans-Peter|last9=Goodfellow|first9=Michael|last10=Göker|first10=Markus|date=2018|title=Genome-Based Taxonomic Classification of the Phylum Actinobacteria|journal=Frontiers in Microbiology|language=English|volume=9|page=2007|doi=10.3389/fmicb.2018.02007|pmid=30186281|issn=1664-302X|pmc=6113628|doi-access=free}} The correct nomenclature for the sole species of this genus is now Adlercreutzia equolifaciens subsp. celatus.{{Cite web|title=Species: Asaccharobacter celatus|url=https://lpsn.dsmz.de/species/asaccharobacter-celatus|access-date=2021-07-05|website=lpsn.dsmz.de|language=en}}
