Pemphigus (Pemphigus) matsumurai is a species of gall-forming aphid, in the subgenus, Pemphigus, of the genus, Pemphigus. It was first described in 1927 by the Japanese entomologist Kota Monzen. Some authorities consider it a synonym of Pemphigus (Pemphigus) niishimae. Others do not. The species epithet, mutsumurai, honours the Japanese entomologist Shōnen Matsumura.
