Perrottetia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Dipentodontaceae described in 1824. Species occur in China, Southeast Asia, Papuasia, Hawaii, Australia, and Latin America. It is the largest genus of the recently described order Huerteales.
==Taxonomy== This genus was previously placed in the staff vine family Celastraceae, but molecular evidence has shown that it not related and better placed with Dipentodon in a separate family Dipentodontaceae.
