Krigia is a genus of North American flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.

Plants of the genus are known generally as dwarf dandelions[2] or dwarfdandelions.

They are annual or perennial herbs growing from a fibrous root system or a taproot.

The blades are often linear to lance-shaped, toothed or lobed, and borne on winged petioles.

The flower heads are solitary, growing at the top of the stem or on stalks from the leaf axils.
