Lueheia is a genus of worms belonging to the family Plagiorhynchidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus was described by Travassos in 1919. The National Center for Biotechnology Information does not indicate that only one phylogenetic analysis has been published on any Lueheia species that would confirm its position as a unique genus in the family Plagiorhynchidae. This was the ribosomal subunits of Lueheia aztecae.
