Burmeistera is a genus of flowering plants in the bellflower family, Campanulaceae. There are around 130 species distributed in Central and South America. This genus represents a rapid evolutionary radiation with species having diverged within only the last 2.6 million years.

These are herbs, shrubs, or lianas. Most have either green or yellow flowers with purple markings and inflated fruit pods.

The flowers of these plants are pollinated by bats, except for Burmeistera rubrosepala, which is pollinated by hummingbirds. Bats such as Anoura geoffroyi and Anoura caudifer visit the flowers for the nectar.
