Cyanixia is a genus of plants in the Iridaceae, first described in 2003.

It contains only one known species, Cyanixia socotrana, a perennial, herbaceous and bulbous plant species endemic to the Island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean, part of the Republic of Yemen.

[2][3] The genus name is derived from Greek words Ixia, referring to the radially symmetrical flowers in the genus of that name, as well as cyanos, meaning "blue".

[4] The species was for many years considered a member of the South African genus Babiana but recognized as a distinct genus in 2003.
