Larsenaikia is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Gardenieae of the family Rubiaceae.

[1] Its native range is Eastern and Northern Australia.

[1][2] It contains three species — L. jardinei, L. ochreata, and L. suffruticosa — formerly classified in Gardenia, and possibly belonging to Kailarsenia.

[3] Larsenaikia is a taxonomic anagram derived from the name of the confamilial genus Kailarsenia.
