The Neogregarinorida are an order of parasitic alveolates in the phylum Apicomplexa.[1] Species in this order infect insects and are usually found in the fat body, hemolymph, hypodermis, intestine or Malpighian tubules. The most common site of infection is the fat body: many species are pathogenic for their hosts.

The species in this order are predominantly intracellular parasites.
