Aleiodes gaga is a species of parasitic wasp belonging to the Braconidae family. It was first described by Donald Quicke and Buntika Butcher in 2012 after a single individual was discovered in the Chae Son National Park in Thailand. The species is named after Lady Gaga. This species is one of 179 species which were identified by the first "turbo-taxonomic" search of DNA barcoding of cytochrome oxidase I (COI).
