La ficina, nota anche come ficaina o ficina E, è una proteasi vegetale appartenente alla famiglia delle proteasi a cisteina (CP), come le più conosciute papaina della papaya e bromelina del gambo d'ananas.Viene isolata specialmente dal lattice di , ma è altresì presente in altre specie di Ficus sp., come Ficus carica e Ficus elastica. La sua sequenza amminoacidica, per i residui vicini al sito attivo, si avvicina alla sequenza corrispondente in papaina.
