Herniaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae known generally as ruptureworts. They are native to Eurasia and Africa but several species have been widely introduced to other continents. These are flat, mat-forming annual herbs. The genus gets its scientific and common names from the once-held belief that species could be used as an herbal remedy for hernias.

コゴメビユ属(Herniaria)は、ナデシコ科の顕花植物の属である。ユーラシア大陸やアフリカ大陸に自生するが、一部の種は他の大陸にも広く導入されている。平らなマット状に広がる一年草である。かつてヘルニアの治療薬になると信じられていたことから学名が付けられた。
