Kleinia is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family.

[4][5] Kleinia contains around 50 species and is distributed from Morocco and the Canary Islands, throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, South Asia and Indochina.

It is closely related to the genus Senecio but is distinguished primarily by having succulent stems or leaves.

[6] Kleinia commemorates Dr. Jacob Theodor Klein, a German botanist.
