Olegonegrobovia is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, known from Africa. It was first established in 1995 by Igor Grichanov, who named it after the Russian entomologist Oleg Negrobov. It was synonymised with Teuchophorus by Meuffels & Grootaert in 2004,{{cite journal|first1=H.|last1=Meuffels|first2=P.|last2=Grootaert|year=2004|title=The genus Teuchophorus in South-East Asia and New Guinea, description of new species, species-groups and their phylogeny (Insecta, Diptera, Dolichopodidae)|journal=Journal of Natural History|volume=38|issue=2|pages=143–258|doi=10.1080/0022293021000007507 |bibcode=2004JNatH..38..143M }} but is considered a separate genus by Grichanov & Mostovski (2008).{{cite journal|first1=I.
