'''Haemantheae''' are a tribe of subfamily Amaryllidoideae (family Amaryllidaceae). They are herbaceous monocot perennial flowering plants with a predominantly African distribution. Three subtribes are proposed and six genera including the type genus, ''Haemanthus'', are included. They are characterised by the presence of baccate (berry) fruit.{{sfn|Meerow|Clayton|2004}}

=== Subdivision === There are three subtribes, with six genera * Cliviinae <small>D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-Doblies</small> * Haemanthinae <small>Pax</small> * Gethyllidinae <small>Meerow</small>
The subtribes are related as follows:
{{clade | label1= Tribe '''Haemantheae'''
| 1= {{clade | 1= Subtribe Cliviinae | 2= {{clade | 1= Subtribe Haemanthinae | 2= Subtribe Gethyllidinae }} }} }}
Cliviinae: Two genera - ''Clivia'', ''Cryptostephanus''
Haemanthinae: Type - two genera, ''Haemanthus'', ''Scadoxus''
Gethyllidinae: Two genera - ''Apodolirion'', ''Gethyllis''
