Desulfosporosinus is a genus of strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing bacteria, often found in soil.

The type species D. orientis was isolated in 1959[3] with the proposed name Desulfovibrio orientis, and was later assigned to the genus Desulfotomaculum.[4] Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data Desulfotomaculum orientis was reclassified as Desulfosporosinus orientis in 1997.[1]
