Dicranostigma, also known as the eastern horned poppies, is a genus in the poppy family Papaveraceae, the species of which are native to the Himalaya and western China . Although resembling the true horned poppies of Glaucium, they have stigmas with two lobes and fruit with only traces of the "horns".

A number of the species have only been recently published.
