Anthomyiidae is a large and diverse family of Muscoidea flies. Name came from Greek "anthos" (flower) + "myia" (a fly). Some species are commonly called "root-maggots", as the larvae are found in the stems and roots of various plants. As larvae, some also feed on decaying plant material, and some are leafminers; the family also includes inquilines, commensals, and parasitic larvae.

Some species in the family are significant agricultural pests, particularly some from the genus "Delia", which includes the onion fly ("Delia antiqua"), the wheat bulb fly ("Delia coarctata"), the turnip root fly ("Delia floralis"), the bean seed fly ("Delia platura") and the cabbage root fly ("Delia radicum").
