Oestlundia is a genus of orchids within the subtribe Laeliinae. The species in this genus are distributed from Mexico to Venezuela.
== Taxonomic history == Encyclia sect. Oestlundia was published in 1971 by Dressler and Pollard, before the genus Encyclia was accepted. In 2001, Higgins removed this taxon from the genus Epidendrum and elevated it to generic rank, removing E. subulatifolium in the process.
