Aradus brenskei is a species of flat bug in the family Aradidae.

It is found in Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy (including Sardinia and Sicily), Montenegro, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine, Iran, Turkey and Azerbaijan.

It mostly lives under bark, but can also be seen during the day, feeding on Fomes fomentarius fruit bodies.

Aradus brenskei is deadwood-dependent (saproxylic) and mycetophagous, since its presence is related to the presence of the wood-decaying basidiomycete Fomes fomentarius, on sun-exposed dead or dying standing or lying trees.
