Brachyglottis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus was erected on November 29, 1775, by Johann Reinhold Forster and Georg Forster. The name was derived from the Greek brachus ("short") and glottis ("the vocal apparatus of the larynx") a reference to the size of the ray florets.
The genus is almost entirely native to New Zealand, except for B. brunonis, which occurs in Tasmania.
