Chromidina is a genus of apostome ciliates of the family Opalinopsidae. Species of Chromidina are parasitic ^[3]^[5]^[6] in the renal and pancreatic appendages of cephalopods.

Phylogenetic position of Chromidina spp. within Ciliophora

In 2016, a molecular study found that the closest relatives of Chromidina spp. were species of the apostome Pseudocollinia.^[4]
