(1838) Mitella is a genus of flowering plants known as miterworts or bishop's caps.

Mitella species are native to temperate and arctic North America and Asia.

Mitella includes perennials growing from a scaly rhizome, bearing wide heart- or spade-shaped leaves near their bases and flowers with five petals in a long raceme or spike.

The genus name means "little mitre", from Latin mitra with the diminutive suffix -ella, since the flowers are said to resemble bishop's headdresses.

In Classical Latin use, however, mitella means "female headdress" or "sling".
