Drakkaria is a genus of grasses. It includes a single species, Drakkaria venezuelae, a perennial native to the tropical Americas. It has a disjunct distribution in Guatemala, Honduras, northwestern Costa Rica, Cuba, Hispaniola, Venezuela, and northeastern Brazil,[1] where it grows in tropical dry forests.[2]

The species was first described as Panicum venezuelae by Eduard Hackel in 1901. In 2024 Christian Silva and Fernando Omar Zuloaga placed the species in the newly-described genus Drakkaria as Drakkaria venezuelae.[1]
