Rhinostomus is a genus of true weevils (beetles) in the family Curculionidae. It is the only genus in the monotypic tribe Rhinostomini. Members of this group are known as yucca weevils. They were once placed in a different genus called Yuccaborus, but in 2002 Yuccaborus was merged into Rhinostomus, and the species Yuccaborus frontalis became Rhinostomus frontalis.
