Anurogryllus celerinictus, the Indies short-tailed cricket, is a species of cricket in the family Gryllidae. It was described in 1973 by Thomas J. Walker.[1][2]

In January 2019, the noise from its song was proposed as the cause of the Havana syndrome.[3] A JASON report from November 2018 (declassified in September 2021) concluded that sounds recorded during investigations of Havana syndrome most likely came from A. celerinictus.[4]
