小火蚁（学名：Wasmannia auropunctata，英语：electric ant、little fire ant），又称金刻沃氏蚁或光点小火蚁，是一种小型的家蚁亚科物种，原生于中南美洲，现已扩张到北美洲、台湾^[2]、以色列^[3]^[4] 和一些太平洋岛屿（加拉帕戈斯群岛、夏威夷、新喀里多尼亚和所罗门群岛），此外东北澳大利亚的凯恩亦有纪录。^[5]^[6]

其英文名称“electric ant”来自其咬伤产生如触电的强烈痛感，^[7] 它也是世界百大外来入侵种之一。小火蚁体长约1.5毫米，通体黄褐色。雌雄皆能无性繁殖，是最早被发现两性都可以无性繁殖的动物。^[8]^[8]^[9]
