The genus Lindernia is a group of plants in the family Linderniaceae. They are native to warm regions in both the Eastern and Western Hemisphere.
The genus name of Lindernia is in honour of Franz Balthasar von Lindern (1682–1755), French doctor and botanist in Strasbourg and also university botanical garden director.
Lindernia consists of 30 species in its most recent circumscription. Some species have become available commercially for use in home aquariums and aquascaping, such as L. rotundifolia.
