Cyrtinella is an extinct genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. The genus is known from Baltic amber from the Eocene of Poland and Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. It contains only one species, Cyrtinella flavinigra.^[1]

The generic name is from the extant genus , referring to the possible close relationship of Cyrtinella with the genus. The specific name is a combination of the Latin words flava (yellow) and nigra (black), referring to the black and yellow coloration of the body.^[1]
