Dundubia is a genus of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in the subfamily Cicadinae and the type genus of the tribe Dundubiini.
The name Dundubia is derived from Sanskrit दुंदुभि (dundubhi), meaning 'drum'. A characteristic feature is the pair of long lobes covering the tymbals on the underside of the male abdomen.
