Bradysia is a genus of fungus gnat in the family Sciaridae.[3][4] They are commonly known as darkwinged fungus gnats.[3] They are considered a major pest in greenhouse agriculture because they thrive in the moist conditions common inside greenhouses and feed on the plants being grown within.[5] Bradysia is a large genus containing over 500 living species,[6] with at least 65 species found in North America[3] and 172 in Europe.[2]

Bradysia species are a major pollinator of plants such as Aspidistra elatior.[7]
