メイガ科(メイガか、学名: Pyralidae)は、チョウ目に属する昆虫の一分類。 この科に属する昆虫の幼虫は、シンクイムシ(芯喰い虫)と呼ばれ、農業害虫として忌避されている。天然のアワノメイガ(Asian Corn Borer、学名: Ostrinia furnacalis)やハチノスツヅリガ(Honeycomb Moth、学名: Galleria mellonella)、コハチノスツヅリガ(Lesser Wax Moth)の幼虫は、農業害虫だが、釣り餌として養殖されている養殖物は、ホルモン操作によってサナギになることを抑制されているので、逃げ出した個体が成虫になり増えて農業害虫となることはない。

The Pyralidae, commonly called pyralid moths, snout moths or grass moths, are a family of Lepidoptera in the ditrysian superfamily Pyraloidea. In many (particularly older) classifications, the grass moths (Crambidae) are included in the Pyralidae as a subfamily, making the combined group one of the largest families in the Lepidoptera. The latest review by Eugene G. Munroe and Maria Alma Solis retain the Crambidae as a full family of Pyraloidea.
