Kritsky is a genus of digeneans in the family Aporocotylidae or blood flukes.[2] The name of the genus honours the American parasitologist Delane C. Kritsky.

The genus includes the single species Kritsky platyrhynchi (Guidelli, Isaac & Pavanelli, 2002) Orelis-Ribeiro & Bullard, 2016, which is a parasite of the body cavity of the porthole shovelnose catfish, Hemisorubim platyrhynchos (Pimelodidae) in Peru.[3]
