Sphaeropsidales is an order of Coelomycetes fungi.

These are conidial fungi where the conidia form in a growing cavity in the host's tissue. The fruiting structures are spherical with an opening at the apex (pycnidia).

Four can be distinguished. are fungi with pycnidia dark colored, leathery to carbonous, stromatic or non-stromatic generally provided with a circular opening. are fungi with pycnidia as in the Sphaeropsidaceae but light colored instead of dark, and soft or waxy instead of leathery. are fungi wit hpycnidia shield-shaped or elongated, and flattened. are fungi where mature pycnidia are somewhat deeply cup-shaped. In the family Sphaeropsidaceae, species of the genus are hyperparasitic on rusts while species of Cicinnobolus are hyperparasites of powdery mildew. Their mycelium is grown longitudinally in the mycelium of their hosts.^[1]

Members of this order can produce pigments, such as and , or .^[3]
