Jungia is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. It is native mostly to South America, with one widespread species extending its range into Central America and southern Mexico.
Several species were at one time included in Jungia but are now regarded as more appropriate in other genera (Acourtia and Pleocarphus).
