Remijia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. Within the family, it is a member of the subfamily Cinchonoideae and the tribe Cinchoneae.

There are about 36 species in Remijia.[1] They are native to Peru and Brazil. Some of the species have hollow stems that harbor ants.[2]

The bark of Remijia contains 0.5%–2% of the drug quinine. It is cheaper than the bark of Cinchona, a source of quinine. Because of its intense flavor, the bark of Remijia is used for making of tonic water.[3]

No type species has ever been designated for Remijia. In 2005, two species were transferred from Remijia to a new genus, Ciliosemina.[4]
