Diplolepis ignota is a species of gall wasp (Cynipidae). Galls in which the larvae live and feed are formed on the leaves of several species of wild rose (Rosa).[1][2][3] Individual galls are single-chambered and spherical, but multiple galls can coalesce into irregularly rounded galls.[2][3]

This species has been reported throughout most of the continental United States,[4][1][3] and in Canada from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.[2][5][6]
