Many Ficus species are grown for their fruits, though only two species, the common fig (F. carica) and sycamore fig (F. sycomorus), are cultivated to any extent, with common fig being the type species and by far the most important.

Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit der Pflanzengattung Feigen (Ficus). Über die Frucht Feige gibt es Informationen unter Echte Feige. Zum Wirtschafts- und Steuerstrafverteidiger siehe Hanns Feigen. Die Feigen (Ficus) sind die einzige Gattung der Tribus Ficeae innerhalb der Pflanzenfamilie der Maulbeergewächse (Moraceae). Die wohl bekannteste Art ist die Echte Feige (Ficus carica), deren Früchte als Feigen bekannt sind. Die große Gattung („Großgattung“) besteht aus 750 bis 1000 Arten immergrüner und laubabwerfender Bäume, Sträucher oder Kletterpflanzen, die weltweit in den tropischen und subtropischen Regionen beheimatet sind. In frostfreien Gebieten werden einige Arten wegen ihrer dekorativen Blätter oder als Schattenspender in Parks und Gärten angepflanzt. Einige Arten und ihre Sorten sind beliebte Zimmerpflanzen.

The fruit of most other species are also edible though they are usually of only local economic importance or eaten as bushfood. However, they are extremely important food resources for wildlife. Figs are also of considerable cultural importance throughout the tropics, both as objects of worship and for their many practical uses.
