Mionandra fischeri is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Malpighiaceae. It is a shrub native to Argentina, ranging from San Luis to Rio Negro provinces.[1]

The species was first described in 1916 by Cristóbal Mariá Hicken as Gallardoa fischeri, the sole species in genus Gallardoa, in Physis (Buenos Aires) Vol.2 on page 101.[2] The genus was named in honour of Ángel Gallardo (1867–1934), an Argentine civil engineer, natural scientist and politician.[3] In 2023 Rafael Felipe de Almeida placed the species in genus Mionandra as Mionandra fischeri.[1]
