Calyptospora is a genus of parasitic protozoa in the phylum Apicomplexa.

This genus and family was created in 1984 for the species Eimeria funduli because of morphological differences in the sporocyst suggested that it was not a typical member of the genus Eimeria.[1]

The type species is Calyptospora funduli.
