Moquinia is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Moquinieae within the family Asteraceae. The genus name of Moquinia is in honour of Alfred Moquin-Tandon (1804–1863), a French naturalist and doctor. It was first described and published in 1838. Over 40 species names have been described in the genus, but nearly all of them have been transferred to other genera (Barrosoa, Gochnatia, Guayania, Inula, Llerasia, Piptocarpha, and Pseudostifftia). Two remain in Moquinia. , Plants of the World Online listed Moquinia bojeri as "unplaced".
