Haroldia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.[1] It contains a single species, Haroldia mendocina.[1]

Its native range is north-western Argentina.[1]

Both the genus and the species were circumscribed by José M. Bonifacino in Smithsonian Contr. Bot. vol.92 on page 50 in 2009.[1]

The genus name of Haroldia is in honour of Harold Ernest Robinson (1932–2020), who was an American botanist and entomologist.[2]
