收穫蟻屬（學名：Messor）又稱收割家蟻屬，是蟻科、切葉蟻亞科的一個屬，該屬有着100多個成員，命名方式源自羅馬神話中的農作物和收穫之神梅索爾（Messor）。地下群落通常分布在空曠的田野和路邊附近，開口直接通向地面。

該屬物種的群落可達到很大的規模，並以其設計精巧的糧倉而聞名。在糧倉中，種子被儲存在乾燥的環境中，以防止發芽。收穫蟻的結構巢穴非常複雜，總體而言，該屬物種有着很強大的建築能力。

收穫蟻有很多種分化，並且具有獨特的大頭特化，它們的作用是搬運種子以及開種子。雖然它們主要以種子為食，但偶爾也會吃蟲肉。一些蝸牛殼可能因為其形狀像穀物而被帶入巢穴。 ^[2]

收穫蟻具有堅韌、光滑的幾丁質外骨骼。行動緩慢，形成長長的攜帶種子的通道。收穫蟻往往是單後制的，一個群落僅由一位蟻后建立，但在人為的環境下，收穫蟻可以變成多後群落，但這往往會有擇後（指蟻群選舉蟻后，弱的蟻后將被處死）的風險。

以沙地收穫蟻（Messor arenarius）為例，與其他類型的收割蟻一樣，它們在尋找食物來源時會釋放追蹤信息素，並在個體層面上進行操作。 ^[3]
