アフリカキンセンカ属(あふりかきんせんかぞく)は、キク科キク亜科キンセンカ連の属である。学名ディモルフォセカ Dimorphotheca。学名は「二形性の実」の意味。 オステオスペルマム属 Osteospermum に非常に近縁で、容易に雑種を作る。2属の区別は難しく分類は流動的で、近年では Nordenstam (1994, 1996) の系統解析により、オステオスペルマム属から Blaxium 節(O. jucundus / D. jucunda など)が移された。Gawenda & Debener (2009) によると、2属を分けることはできず、合わせてもその遺伝的変異は一般的な属に満たない。 アフリカ南部(南アフリカ共和国、ザンビア、アンゴラなど)原産。一年生または多年生の草本または低木。花卉のために栽培される。
