'''''Guettarda''''' is a plant genus in the family Rubiaceae. Most of these plants are known by the common name '''velvetseed'''.
== Distribution == Most of the species are Neotropical.<ref name="mabberley2008">David J. Mabberley. 2008. ''Mabberley's Plant-Book'' third edition (2008).

The genus ''Guettarda'' is much in need of revision.
