Isopyrum is a genus of flowering plants of the family Ranunculaceae native to Eurasia and North America. Isopyrum plants possess white flowers with five sepals and five petals.
The genus was first described in 1753 by the biologist Carl Linnaeus. In 1920, the genus Paraquilegia was segregated out from Isopyrum to contain plants that are more morphologically aligned with members of the genus Aquilegia (columbines).
