Microtini is a tribe of voles in the subfamily Arvicolinae.

Most members of this tribe were once placed in Arvicolini, but a 2021 study found that Arvicola is distinct from the other extant genera in Arvicolini, instead being sister to the tribe Lagurini. The current species listing of the American Society of Mammalogists lists only Arvicola in Arvicolini, with all other extant members being removed to Microtini.
