Iostephane is a genus of Mexican flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They were first published in G.Bentham & J.D.Hooker, Genera Plantarum Vol.2 on page 368 in 1873.

The species are rosette-forming herbaceous perennials that produce relatively large heads with yellow or purple (I. heterophylla) rays. They have large, somewhat quadrate cypselae (achenes), that may either have or lack a pappus.
