Elythranthera, commonly known as enamel orchids, is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It contains two species and a named hybrid, all endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Two species are recognised: Elythranthera brunonis (Endl.) A.S.George - purple enamel orchid; Elythranthera emarginata (Lindl.) A.S.George - pink enamel orchid. A hybrid between the two species was known as Elythranthera x intermedia. (Fitzg.) M.A.Clem
