Tridentea is a genus of succulent plant in the family Apocynaceae, endemic to southern Africa.
==Name and history== thumb|left|Stem specimen showing leaf remnants and flower stem Tridentea was first described as a genus in 1812, and its name refers to the three "teeth" on each interstaminal segment of its flower ("tri-" = three; "dentis" = teeth). It was subsequently split, and the genus Tromotriche was created for the ten species which were separated.
