Neuwiedia is a genus of primitive terrestrial orchids (family Orchidaceae), comprising 9 species native to China, Southeast Asia and certain Pacific Islands.

[1][2] The two genera in the subfamily Apostasioideae, Apostasia and Neuwiedia, differ from most other orchids in having three stamens.

The genus was named by Carl Ludwig von Blume in honor of Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied (1782-1859).

They are tall herbs with rhizomes and grow long, plicate leaves.

They produce an unbranched, erect, terminal inflorescence bearing usually white or yellow, nodding flowers.
