Geophila is a genus of herbs in the family Rubiaceae. This genus is pantropical, as it is found in most tropical regions.
The name Geophila was once applied to a genus of mushrooms (defined by Lucien Quélet in 1886 with the modern Stropharia inuncta as type species), but this usage is now obsolete and illegitimate.
