Anaerobiospirillum is a genus of Gram-negative, spiral-shaped, obligately anaerobic bacteria in the family Succinivibrionaceae. The genus was first described in 1976 based on the type species Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens which was isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of humans. A second species, Anaerobiospirillum thomasii, was later described in 1997 based on isolates from the feces of domestic animals and humans with diarrhea.
