Sodaliphilus is a genus of strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria in the family Muribaculaceae, phylum Bacteroidota. The genus was first described in 2020 based on isolates from an Aachen minipig gastrointestinal tract. Its name means "companion-loving", referring to enhanced growth in the presence of other bacteria. The genus currently includes one validly published species, Sodaliphilus pleomorphus.
