Iduna is a genus of tree warbler in the family Acrocephalidae. Keyserling and Blasius gave no explanation of the genus name Iduna.[2] It is sometimes lumped in the genus Hippolais, although in 2009 it was found to belong to the Iduna clade.[3]

It contains the following species:

  • African yellow warbler (Iduna natalensis)
  • Mountain yellow warbler (Iduna similis)
  • Booted warbler (Iduna caligata)
  • Sykes's warbler (Iduna rama)
  • Eastern olivaceous warbler (Iduna pallida)
