Pseudophyllanthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Phyllanthaceae.

It is one of the eight genera in the tribe Poranthereae.

Its sole species is Pseudophyllanthus ovalis.

It is a dioecious, or rarely monoecious, shrub or small tree, native to southern Africa.

It had been included in the genus Andrachne, but in 2007 a molecular phylogenetic study of DNA sequences showed that it did not belong there.
