小植绥螨属（学名：Phytoseiulus）是寄螨总目革螨目（Mesostigmata，亦作中气门目或中气门螨目）捕植螨科（Phytoseiidae）的一个属。

作为一种捕食性螨，本属物种常用于控制在温室及户外温和环境生长的二斑叶螨（Tetranychus urticae C. L. Koch, 1836）。本属物种最初是在1958年意外从南美洲的智利引入德国，然后再扩散到北美洲的加州及佛罗里达州。牠们每日最多可捕食五只叶螨，又或20颗虫卵。其雌性物种为红色梨形，长约0.5 mm，于室温最活跃；未成熟及雄虫的体型较小，颜色也较浅。其虫卵为长圆形，当中有80%会孵化成为雌虫。在最佳温度时，虫卵可于七天长为成虫，之后有一个月的寿命。一只营养充足的雌虫终其一生可产卵约50只。

Phytoseiulus is a genus of mites in the Phytoseiidae family. A predatory mite, this is the mite predator most frequently used to control two-spotted spider mites in greenhouses and outdoor crops grown in mild environments. This mite was accidentally introduced into Germany from Chile in 1958; it was subsequently shipped to other parts of the world, including California and Florida, from Germany. A Phytoseiulus mite can consume up to 7 adult spider mites or several dozen of their eggs in a day. Adult females are reddish, pear-shaped, approximately 0.5 mm long, and active at room temperature. Immatures and males are smaller and lighter in color. Eggs are oblong. About 80% are females. At optimum temperatures Phytoseiidae can develop from egg to adult in 7 days and live for up to 1 month. A well-fed female will lay about 50 eggs in her lifetime.
