Nivenia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae first described as a genus in 1808.

Species in the genus are restricted in distribution to an area in the Cape Province of South Africa.

[1] The genus name is a tribute to the Scottish botanist James Niven (1774-1826), one of the first to collect the genus.
