Lejeunea is a genus of leafy liverworts in the Lejeuneaceae family.[1] The GBIF lists up to 592 species (as of October 2022), along with a worldwide distribution.[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Marie-Anne Libert in Ann. Gen. Sci. Phys. vol.6 on page 372 in 1820.

The genus name of Lejeunea is in honour of Alexandre Louis Simon Lejeune (1779–1858), who was a Belgian physician and botanist.[3]
