Pilotrochus is a genus of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae containing the single species Pilotrochus besmerus. It is known from Madagascar.

The name of the genus is derived from Greek {{Transliteration|grc|plios}}, "hair" + {{Transliteration|grc|trochos}}, "wheel"; the specific name is from Latin {{lang|la|bes}}, "eight of twelve" + Greek {{Transliteration|grc|meros}}, "part", referencing the eight-segmented antennae.
