Iduna is a genus of tree warbler in the Acrocephalidae family. Keyserling and Blasius gave no explanation of the genus name Iduna.[1] It is sometimes lumped in the genus Hippolais, although in 2009 it was found to belong to the Iduna clade.[2]

It contains the following species:

  • Thick-billed warbler (Iduna aedon)
  • African yellow warbler (Iduna natalensis)
  • Mountain yellow warbler (Iduna similis)
  • Booted warbler (Iduna caligata)
