Rivasgodaya is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the legume family, Fabaceae. It just contains one species, Rivasgodaya nervosa.
It is native to the Canary Islands.
The genus name of "Rivasgodaya" is in honour of Salvador Rivas Goday (1905–1981), a Spanish botanist and plant geographer, professor of pharmacy in Madrid. The Latin specific epithet of "nervosa" means veined, originally from "nervus".
Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Trab. Dept. Bot. Univ. Granada Vol.2 on pages 81-82 in 1973.
It is also thought to be a synonym for "Teline nervosa".
