Geoffroea is a rather small genus of wild spiny shrubs or small trees of tropical and subtropical South America. Although it gathers few species, they are highly extended geographically throughout the subcontinent.

It was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Pterocarpus clade within the Dalbergieae.
