Poiretia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes 12 species of twining, scandent, or erect herbs and shrubs native to the tropical Americas, ranging from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, including Cuba and Hispaniola. Most species are native to eastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina; Poiretia punctata ranges further north and west to northern South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Typical habitats include seasonally-dry tropical to subtropical riverine forest, woodland (cerrado), grassland, and shrubland.

The genus belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Adesmia clade of the Dalbergieae.
