Swinglea is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rutaceae.

[2] It only contains a single species, Swinglea glutinosa.

[2] The genus name of Swinglea is in honour of Walter Tennyson Swingle (1871–1952), an American agricultural botanist who contributed greatly to the classification and taxonomy of citrus.

[2] The Latin specific epithet of glutinosa is derived from gluten meaning glue.

[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in J. Arnold Arbor.
