Hornungia procumbens is a species of herb native to the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere.

Common names include oval purse, slenderweed and prostrate hutchinsia.

It was transferred into Hymenolobus by Hans Schinz and Albert Thellung in 1921, and four years later placed in Hornungia by August von Hayek.
