Rhagoba is an oriental genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Frederic Moore in 1888. Species of the genus resemble those of Pygospila, but can be told apart by genital differences in both sexes and by a stronger metallic blue reflection on the thorax. Species are known only from Asia, where they have been recorded from China, Vietnam, Laos, India, Nepal and Bhutan.
