蕓薹（學名：Brassica rapa），又稱為油菜。是一種被耕種作為葉菜（如小白菜、大白菜、菜心）、根用植物（如蕪菁）和作為植物油（非常見的甘藍型油菜，詳見油菜）的植物。 在十八世紀時，卡爾·林奈視蕪菁和油用的變種（即白菜型油菜）為不同的品種並分別命名為B. rapa和B. campestris。然而二十世紀的分類學家發現這些植物是異體受精（英语：Allogamy），因此認為是相同的物種。自從蕪菁已先被林奈氏命名，Brassica rapa則被繼承下來作為種學名。 此品種的種子即是植物油的來源（即白菜型油菜）。但較為常見的品種為甘藍型油菜（Brassica napus）和芥菜型油菜（Brassica juncea）。
