Citropsis is a genus of flowering plants in the citrus family, Rutaceae. They are known generally as African cherry oranges. They are native to Africa.

This genus is in the subfamily Aurantioideae, which also includes genus Citrus. It is in the tribe Citreae and subtribe Citrinae, which are known technically as the citrus fruit trees. Citropsis and the genus Atalantia are also called near-citrus fruit trees. The genus Citropsis is thought to be an ancestral group of genus Citrus. Fruit-bearing intergeneric hybrids have been established between Citropsis gabunensis and Citrus wakonai. Demand for the roots may lead to the overexploitation of the tree.
