Keetia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae.

It consists of climbers or scrambling shrubs, rarely small trees.

The genus has a wide distribution area and occurs in tropical and southern Africa.

It was originally described by Edwin Percy Phillips in 1926[1] and is named after J.D.M Keet, a South African forester and plant collector.

[2] The type species was Keetia transvaalensis, which received its name from the region it was first collected, but is now included in Keetia gueinzii.
