Cosmospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Nectriaceae. The genus, as circumscribed by Rossman et al. (1998), included all the nectrioid species with small, reddish, non-ornamented sexual fruiting bodies that collapse laterally when dry. However, the genus was shown to be polyphyletic, and the majority of species were re-classified into revived or recently established genera that are monophyletic. Cosmospora sensu Rossman housed members of the following genera: Chaetopsina, Cylindrocladiella, Fusicolla, Macroconia, Mariannaea, Microcera, Pseudocosmospora, Stylonectria, and Volutella.

Cosmospora was restricted to species having acremonium-like asexual morphs that grow on polypores and xylariaceous fungi by Gräfenhan in 2011. About 20 species are accepted in the genus (Gräfenhan et al. 2011; Herrera et al. 2015; Zeng and Zhuang et al. 2016; Luo et al. 2019; Lechat et al. 2021).{{cite journal |last1=Lechat |first1=C. |last2=Fournier |first2=J. |title=Cosmospora xylariae (Nectriaceae), a new species from France, Germany and UK, with notes on C. berkeleyana, now Sphaerostilbella berkeleyana, and C. scruposae. |journal=Ascomycete.org |date=2021 |volume=13 |issue=5 |page=29}}

The name Cosmospora comes from Greek kosmos + spora, meaning ornamented spores.
