Roessleria is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae.

It includes five species native to southern Africa, ranging from Angola and Zimbabwe to South Africa.

[1] The species in the genus were originally placed in genus Hirpicium.

That genus was found to be paraphyletic, with the five southern African species forming a distinct clade that was given the name Roessleria.

The genus is named for botanist Helmut Roessler (1926–2019).
