Syritta is a genus of hoverflies, family Syrphidae.{{cite book |last1=Lyneborg |first1=Leif |last2=Barkemeyer |first2=Werner |title=The Genus Syritta: A World Revision of the Genus Syritta Le Peletier & Serville, 1828 (Diptera: Syrphidae). Entomonograph |volume= 15 |date=2005 |publisher=Apollo Books |isbn=87-88757-53-6 |pages=224}}

The genus probably originated in the Afrotropical region. 13 of the 18 recognized species groups are found south of the Sahara. 15 species inhabit the Oriental and Australian-Pacific regions, and only six species are described from the Palearctic region. The two species that occur in North America as far south as Mexico, S. flaviventris and S. pipiens, were probably introduced by humans.

One of the most common species of this genus is Syritta pipiens, a hoverfly from Europe, currently distributed across Eurasia and North America.
