Arigomphus is a genus of dragonflies of the Gomphidae family. This group is commonly called the pond clubtails. The species are fairly plain and only the males have the club-shaped abdomen. Unlike other gomphids, they may emerge from artificial ponds.

The genus is confined to North America. It contains the following species:

• Arigomphus cornutus (Tough, 1900) – horned clubtail
• Arigomphus furcifer (Hagen in Selys, 1878) – lilypad clubtail
• Arigomphus lentulus (Needham, 1902) – stillwater clubtail
• Arigomphus maxwelli (Ferguson, 1950) – bayou clubtail
• Arigomphus pallidus (Rambur, 1842) – gray-green clubtail
• Arigomphus submedianus (Williamson, 1914) – jade clubtail
• Arigomphus villosipes (Selys, 1854) – unicorn clubtail
